Pakistan started the tournament with high hopes. After 29 years, they have been given the responsibility of organizing an ICC tournament on their own soil. However, they are in danger of being eliminated first in the tournament they have organized!<\/p>\n
Pakistan has already lost to New Zealand and India in the group stage. The only match left is against Bangladesh. However, even though there is only one match left, Pakistan is still alive in the tournament on paper. However, a lot depends on Bangladesh’s performance.<\/p>\n
Bangladesh also lost to India in the first match in the tournament. Nazmul Hossain Shanta’s team will face New Zealand in Rawalpindi on Monday. If they win this match, New Zealand and India will directly confirm the semi-finals. Because, both teams will have 2 wins each in the group stage. On the other hand, the Tigers will have to win this match to survive in the tournament. Pakistan will also survive in the tournament if Bangladesh wins the match. In that case, the teams will have to look at the last two matches of the group. In those two matches, Pakistan will fight against Bangladesh and India will fight against New Zealand.<\/p>\n
If Bangladesh can beat New Zealand today and Pakistan can beat Bangladesh by a big margin in their last match, and at the same time if New Zealand loses to India; then only Pakistan can reach the semi-finals. The equation is quite difficult for them.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, if Bangladesh wants to play in the semi-finals, they have to win today, and New Zealand will also have to hope for a loss against India in the last match. However, if Bangladesh wins the remaining 2 matches and New Zealand also defeats India in the last match, then the points of both teams will be equal at 4. In that case, the calculation of run rate will come into play. However, to match these equations, Bangladesh first has to win against New Zealand today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
