What are Pakistan's chances of reaching World Cup semi-final?

Pakistan's chances of reaching the World Cup 2023 semi-finals become dire after New Zealand's spectacular win over Sri Lanka at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India, on Thursday.

With the five-wicket victory, the Kiwis rose to the fourth spot in the points table — bagging 10 points with a net run rate of 0.743. Meanwhile, Pakistan have eight points with a net run rate of 0.036, and they are now required to beat England by about 300 runs to overcome New Zealand's net run rate.

"If England get to 150, Pakistan will have to chase the target in 3.4 overs". Trent Boult is the Player of the Match. Thanks for tuning in. Until next time, goodbye and take it easy," S Rajesh of ESPN said.

Ahead of their final match against Pakistan, England captain Jos Buttler said the team has shown a desire to "put things right" in India at the ongoing ICC Men’s World Cup 2023.

The England skipper said the team is determined to secure a spot in the 2025 Champions Trophy with a top-eight finish.

What Pakistan need to do on Saturday:

Making 400, restrict opponent to 112

Or making 350, restrict opponent to 62

Or making 300, restrict opponent to 13

Or making 450, restrict opponent to 161
