Pakistans chances of qualifying for the World Cup 2023 semi-finals are quite slim, according to various cricket experts and analysts. Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has expressed the opinion that Pakistan does not have any chance of qualifying for the semi-finals. The teams current net run rate is lower than that of New Zealand, which puts them in a difficult position. In order to have a chance of advancing, Pakistan would need to secure a victory and significantly enhance their net run rate by defeating the defending champions by a substantial margin. The team would likely need to create such a margin of victory that they better New Zealand or Australia’s net run rates in order to secure a place in the knockout rounds. Pakistan now have to win their last match against England by at least 287 runs or above if they bat first or chase the target down in 2.5 overs. The teams chances are further complicated by the need for other match results to go in their favor. Overall, the consensus is that Pakistan faces an uphill battle to qualify for the semi-finals of the World Cup 2023.
