India to Ahmedabad The World Cup Since losing the match Pakistan Cricket Team Jo’s faltering steps have yet to recover and it looks like she will stumble out of the semi-final race.
In this situation, as always, this time Pakistani fans have taken tasbih in one hand and calculator in the other and the game of addition and subtraction is going on, what if this happens, what if it happens the same.
After Pakistan’s defeat to Afghanistan, if we look at the World Cup group stage points table, India is first, New Zealand is second, South Africa is third and Australia is fourth, while Pakistan is fifth after the defeat.

After the historic victory against Pakistan, Afghanistan have jumped to the sixth position and are now also in the race for the semi-finals.
At the end of the group stage, the first four teams will qualify for the semi-finals, so now Pakistani cricket fans are just wondering how Pakistan will finally reach the semi-finals.
The answer is not so simple because there is no room for Pakistan to lose in the remaining matches.
Here it is most important that now Pakistan has no room for error. Pakistan have to win the next four matches in any case, after which Pakistan’s total points will be 12.
But the matter does not stop here. Australia have five matches remaining and are currently fourth in the points table and still have a chance. Also, they have two matches against relatively weaker teams, namely Afghanistan and Bangladesh, so they have a smoother path to advance.
Australia will have to lose at least one of these five matches to pave the way for Pakistan to qualify for the semi-finals, after which Pakistan and Australia will have 10 points each and talk about net run rate. .
If the Australian team loses two of their five matches, then Pakistan can move to the fourth position in the points table. Here it needs to be kept in mind that Pakistan can only take a maximum of 12 points at the end of the group stage and the fight is only for the fourth position.
If New Zealand lose two of their remaining matches
The other way to qualify for the semi-finals is if New Zealand lose at least two of their next four matches, taking their group stage total to 12 points.
If Pakistan also wins the next four matches, their total points will also be 12 and once again it will be a matter of net run rate. It should be noted here that New Zealand have won four out of five World Cup matches so far and looking at their form, it doesn’t look like they will be easy to beat.
The most important thing is that Pakistan also has to beat New Zealand to reach the semi-finals.

If South Africa lose at least two matches
Pakistan are going to play their next match on October 27 against South Africa, who are currently second in the points table and have six wins each. To reach the semi-finals, Pakistan first has to beat South Africa and after that if they lose to South Africa, India and New Zealand, South Africa will have 10 points in total and Pakistan will have to win six matches. Later will get 12 points.
There are other cases of this, but if the matter comes out, then it will go away and the complications will also increase, so it would be inappropriate to speculate further at that time.
The first of Pakistan’s remaining four matches will be against South Africa on October 27, Bangladesh on October 31, New Zealand on November 4 and England on November 11.
