Pakistan are out of the World Cup 2023 after England opted to bat first in PAK vs ENG Cricket World Cup match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Pakistan needed to bat first in order to have a slim chance of making it to the semi-final but the scenario for the Men in Green to surpass New Zealand’s net run-rate has become impossible now.
Can Pakistan still qualify for Cricket World Cup semifinal?
The answer is no. For Pakistan to surpass New Zealand in NRR, they had to bundle out the English side to under 50 and chase it down in 2 overs. The Men in Green had a disappointing outing in the tournament, winning 4 and losing 4 games.
