Pakistan is looking forward to its last round-robin league match against England in the upcoming 43rd ODI ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata on Saturday 11th November 2023.
Luckily Pakistan won its last ODI against New Zealand by 22 runs (DLS Method) and once again hoping for the best to end up in the semifinal against India.
No other team’s match will compare to the excitement level of the India vs Pakistan match in the semifinal. Pakistan is right behind New Zealand with eight points and +0.036 NRR in the World Cup points table.
Pakistan’s semifinal chances depend upon his last match against the last World Cup Champion England who are already out of the tournament this year. If New Zealand wins today’s match against Sri Lanka, then Pakistan has to win the last match with a bigger margin to compete for the NRR.
England is already out of the 2023 World Cup with six matches lost out of eight matches. So it is a dead rubber for England whether they lose or win, but for Pakistan, their fate for the semifinal ticket depends upon this match.
