To qualify for the World Cup 2023 semifinals, Pakistan needs to beat England comprehensively with a significant margin. The required margin varies in different sources, but it is generally stated that Pakistan needs to win by a margin of 287 or 288 runs if they bat first. If Pakistan is put into bowl, they need to chase the target with 284 deliveries to spare. Additionally, Pakistan will have to score in excess of 400 in order to have a realistic chance, and if they score 400, they will have to bowl England out for a very low total. These requirements are due to the net run rate calculations and the results of other matches in the tournament. However, it is important to note that these scenarios are extremely challenging and unlikely to happen. The task is considered to be an uphill one, and it has been described as requiring a "miracle" for Pakistan to qualify for the semifinals. The specific details of the required margin and the challenging nature of the task have been highlighted in various news articles and analyses.
