First one down.

We should be favourites for Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

This is why Pak fans get a bad rep. There is no evidence that they should be favourites against BD. You could maybe argue it is an even matchup at best.
 
Interestingly, 1992 has repeated so far.

Pakistan won its last 4 group stage matches to sneak into the semis. So far, it has played out exactly the same and now need wins in their last 3. And for Aus and Ind to beat England.
 
So am I right in saying that if we win our next three then England need to beat at least 2 of Australia/India and NZ?...

If we want to go to the semis, we have to win our 3 then hope that eng lose at least 2 matches.

Sorry guys it's far from over and I know some of the scenarios below are ridiculous but we are still in. Credit to my friend who posted this on Facebook:


"PAKISTAN'S CHANCES

So things are getting interesting at the business end of the WC. The underdogs are rocking the boat.

Teams that have been knocked out: AFG.

Teams that still have a chance to make the semis: IND, NZ, AUS, ENG, SL, BD, PAK, SA & WI.

So what has to happen now in order for PAK to make the semis?

The focus of the below is only to view this from PAK perspective.

1. PAK ideally need to win all 4 of the remaining matches: SA, NZ, BD, AFG. We will go from 3 to 11.

2. SL need to lose at least 1 of their 3 matches: SA, WI, IND. Even if they win the other two they will go from 6 to 10.

3. BD need to lose at least 1of their 3 matches: AFG, IND, PAK. Since we have to beat them that will knock them out. Even if they win their other two matches they will go from 5 to 9.

4. SA & WI cannot go through if PAK gets to 11 since they can only get to 9 if they win all 3 of their matches.

The scenarios for PAK to go through if we win all 4 matches go to 11 and the above happens with SL & BD.

SCENARIO 1

ENG lose 2 out 3 matches: AUS, IND, NZ.
They will go from 8 to 10.

SCENARIO 2

AUS lose all 3 of their matches: ENG, NZ, SA.
They will remain on 10.

SCENARIO 3

IND lose all 4 of their matches: WI, ENG, BD, SL.
They will remain on 9.

SCENARIO 4

IND lose 3 of their 4 matches: WI, ENG, BD, SL.
They will go from 9 to 11.
IND and PAK will be tied on 11.
NRR will determine so PAK can go through only if they are able to win their 4 matches by big margins.

SCENARIO 5

NZ lose all 3 of their matches: PAK, ENG, AUS.
They will remain on 11.
NZ and PAK will be tied on 11.
NRR will determine so PAK can go through only if they are able to win their 4 matches by big margins.

But there are three scenarios in which PAK can go through with just 3 wins out of the 4 remaining matches.

SCENARIO 6

PAK win 3 out of their 4 matches and go to 9.

ENG lose all 3 matches: AUS, IND, NZ.
They will remain on 8.

SL loses 2 out of 3 matches: SA, WI, IND.
They will go from 6 to 8.

BD loses 2 out of 3 matches: AFG, IND, PAK.
They will go from 5 to 7.

WI lose 1 out of 3 matches: IND, SL, AFG.
They will go from 3 to 7.

SA loses 1 out of 3 matches: PAK, SL, AUS.
They will go from 3 to 7.

SCENARIO 7

PAK win 3 out of their 4 matches and go to 9.

ENG lose all 3 matches: AUS, IND, NZ.
They will remain on 8.

SL loses 2 out of 3 matches: SA, WI, IND.
They will go from 6 to 8.

BD loses 1out of 3 matches: AFG, IND, PAK.
They will go from 5 to 9.

WI don't lose any of 3 matches: IND, SL, AFG.
They will go from 3 to 9.

SA don't lose any of 3 matches: PAK, SL, AUS.
They will go from 3 to 9.

BD, WI, SA & PAK will be tied on 9.

Only one of the four will go through based on NRR.
So PAK can go through only if they are able to win their 3 matches by big margins.

SCENARIO 8

PAK win 3 out of their 4 matches and go to 9.

SL loses 2 out of 3 matches: SA, WI, IND.
They will go from 6 to 8.

BD loses 1out of 3 matches: AFG, IND, PAK.
They will go from 5 to 9.

WI don't lose any of 3 matches: IND, SL, AFG.
They will go from 3 to 9.

SA don't lose any of 3 matches: PAK, SL, AUS.
They will go from 3 to 9.

IND lose all 4 of their matches: WI, ENG, BD, SL.
They will remain on 9.

BD, IND, WI, SA & PAK will be tied on 9.

Only one of the five will go through based on NRR. So PAK can go through only if they are able to win their 3 matches by big margins."

These are dreams not scenarios. :yk
 
England :)))

They have matches against NZ, Aus and India coming up

We are going through to the semis!
 
I'm sorry? It is pretty realistic for England or Australia to lose their next three games! Endland just needs to lose two. Nz is due a loss and I believe that will come against Pakistan.. No offense to BD their batting is also due a collapse. I bet on Pak winning their remaining games and Aus or England not making it to the semis.

The only way pak can make it is if aus lose their 3 remaining games or eng lose at least two, provided pak win all 4.
 
Are tickets still up for sale for the semis? I want to see Pakistan play :)
 
So Afghans and SA are officially out. Windies to be knocked out by India hopefully in their next match.

England need to lose two and SL one of their remaining matches. There are other more unrealistic scenarios as well but this is the most realistic way for us to qualify.
 
Pakpak said:
If Aus bat first they will win vs England. Englands bowling is trash. Evidence is our batting with Hafeez and Malik making 330+ aainst them regularly.
Click to expand...

That was on a flat TB wicket though and Morgan was stupid enough to bowl first. However, I do agree that England will be under tremendous amount of pressure since they were considered pre-tournament favourites and Australia will go hard at them. Will be a very decisive match for sure.
 
Pakistan not winning 3 matches in a row. Nkt with the fielding and the brain dead captain they have. Its only fantasy of the fans.
 
Actually if pak win next 3 and deliver a phainta
To Afghanistan we could easily end up with better nrr
Then nz If they somehow lost next 3

In fact interesting scenario would be
If England win only 1 of next 2 and nz lose next 2 then on last game we could qualify with either team winning. And possibly on nrr if nz lose along as we win next 3

They are and vice versa

The pressure is on England and everyone knows that they dont handle that well
Click to expand...

I think the problem is they have put all their eggs in one basket - flat pitches where you can hit through the line and they don't adapt very well even now when the pitch starts gripping. Also , I think they have severely underestimated how teams have prepared for the World Cup. Im just not convinced that they are as bad as SL and PAK made them look.
 
lets just win all of our games and then let everything else sort itself out..you can only control whats in your hands..

Did we watch the same game?

Removed 2nd slip for amir.
Removed amir after 4 overs, when he should have gone for 6 early on as ball was swinging, instead of imad.
Poor fielding positions. Should have posted athletic persons at long on and third man

And where will he bring those athletic persons from ? Borrow them from NBA ?
 
My simple solution for Pak to get to the sem finals:

1) Win all remaining games (any rain and thats our WC over)
2) Hope england lose against Australia and India

This is the only way I see - results of other matches have no impact if the above happens!

Any one else see a different route?
 
I was one of the most optimistic on this forum.
But that windies loss yeeterday pretty much ended it.
We needed all of NZ Aus and Eng in the mix.
The only way we can get to that place now is a big win against NZ followed by a big win Vs Afghanistan.
And I mean big.
That will mean NZ need to win one of their last 2 games against teams that are stronger than them
 
Things look good when your team wins. I dont have much hope for future matches especially against NZ and BD when there will be a lot at stake and don't think Sarfraz is good enough to make the right calls when under pressure.
 
Nz need to lose their last three matches, Which depends a lot on the Nz-aus match
Australia should qualify by beating Sa
England will need to beat either Australia or India
WI are now knocked out before they meet India on Thursday

If Pakistan’s managed to scrape through by beating nz on nrr,they play India at OT

We're higher in the rankings, Pakistan has previously won tournaments before, Bangladesh hasn't. There's isn't much of an advantage, but I'm sure we will go in as favourites against BD (including by bookmakers and by commentators).
 
So if Pakistan beat New Zealand, Afghanistan and Bangladesh in their final three group games (not impossible), England will have to beat two of Australia, India and New Zealand (also not impossible) to reach World Cup semi-finals.
 
Let's try to win against New Zealand first, and then we'll see what the situation is
 
As things stand, all the 10 teams have played at least five matches in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

Sri Lanka's 20-run win over England at Headingley, Leeds on Friday (June 21) has opened up the race for the four semifinal spots in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Here’s a look at the many scenarios even as India stay unbeaten after their thrilling win against Afghanistan at Southampton on Saturday. While there are quite a few matches left to played in the long round-robin league, New Zealand, Australia, India and England occupy the top four spots.

NEW ZEALAND

With five wins from six games, the Kiwis are at the top of the table with 11 points. Their fixture against India was washed out.

MATCHES LEFT: 3 (Against England, Australia and Pakistan)

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO QUALIFY FOR SEMIS

One more victory will confirm New Zealand’s spot in the last-four.

WHAT IF THEY DON’T WIN ANY OF THEIR REMAINING MATCHES

They stay on 11 points. However, they would really need the luck to go their way in terms of other results: Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan should lose at least one of their remaining games so that the three sides don’t end up with 10 points.

AUSTRALIA

Aaron Finch’s team is placed second with five wins from six matches. The defending champions’ only defeat came against India at The Oval.

MATCHES LEFT: 3 (Against England, New Zealand and South Africa)

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO QUALIFY FOR SEMIS

One more victory will guarantee a semifinal berth.

WHAT IF THEY DON’T WIN ANY OF THEIR REMAINING MATCHES

They stay on 10 points. Also, Australia will have to hope that Sri Lanka lose at least two of their remaining fixtures, and Bangladesh and Pakistan lose at least one match. In this way, Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan will not be able to get to 11 points.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INDIA

India survived a scare against Afghanistan to remain unbeaten in the tournament. So far, they have won four of their five games. Their match against New Zealand was rained off.

MATCHES LEFT: 4 (Against West Indies, England, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka)

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO QUALIFY FOR SEMIS

A couple of victories will secure their place in the semifinals.

WHAT IF THEY LOSE ALL THEIR REMAINING MATCHES

They stay on nine points and hope Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan don’t win more than one game each. Also, West Indies must lose one match to not have a chance of getting to nine points.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENGLAND

So far, the hosts have four wins from six games.

MATCHES LEFT: 3 (Against Australia, India and New Zealand)

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO QUALIFY FOR SEMIS

They must win at least two of their remaining three games.

WHAT IF THEY LOSE ALL THEIR REMAINING MATCHES

They stay on eight points and will be on the verge of elimination. However, they can still qualify for the semis if -

--> Sri Lanka lose all their remaining matches

--> Pakistan and Bangladesh get defeated in at least two of their remaining games

--> West Indies lose one

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SRI LANKA

They have six points from as many games.

MATCHES LEFT: 3 (Against South Africa, West Indies and India)

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO QUALIFY FOR SEMIS

If they win all their remaining games, they should qualify for the knockout round. However, if they end on 10 points, they will have to hope that England lose all their remaining matches, Bangladesh do not win more than two and Pakistan lose at least one.

WHAT IF THEY DON’T WIN ANY OF THEIR REMAINING GAMES

They will be eliminated

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BANGLADESH

So far, they have two wins from six matches. Their encounter against Sri Lanka was washed out.

MATCHES LEFT: 3 (Against Afghanistan, India and Pakistan)

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO QUALIFY FOR SEMIS

If they win all their remaining matches, Bangladesh will end with 11 points, and can still qualify -- if Sri Lanka lose all their remaining matches, England win not more than one.

WHAT IF THEY DON’T WIN ANY OF THEIR REMAINING GAMES

They will be out of the competition

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WEST INDIES

The two-time champions have just three points from six games.

MATCHES LEFT: 3 (India, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan)

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO QUALIFY FOR SEMIS

They need to win all their remaining three matches and hope that England lose all their matches and, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka win not more than one each and Pakistan lose at least two.

WHAT IF THEY DON’T WIN ANY OF THEIR REMAINING GAMES

They will be knocked out

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PAKISTAN

Pakistan have lost three of their five games.

MATCHES LEFT: 4 (South Africa, New Zealand, Afghanistan and Bangladesh)

WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO QUALIFY FOR SEMIS

If they manage to win all their remaining four matches, they will end with 11 points. Also, they’ll have to hope that England don’t win more than one and Sri Lanka and Bangladesh lose at least one match each.

WHAT IF THEY LOSE ALL THEIR REMAINING GAMES

They will be out of the competition

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AFGHANISTAN AND SOUTH AFRICA - ELIMINATED

England are amongst the top 3 bookies favourites at every football WC.

Reason?

English people like to put money on England.

That's all the bookies odds ever amounts to.
 
imagine pak win out ..nz lose to aus..eng beat one of aus/india...eng vs nz many fates would be dependent on that game ..nz win pak go through and if eng win it would all come down to nrr between nz and pak

A fast bowler should max bowl 4-5 overs early on, if he had taken one more wicket, only then extra over should be given. We needed Amir's spells in middle and at death overs, just in case to break partnership.

Sarfraz utilized his resources well. I was critical of his captaincy in previous matches but yesterday he deserved some credit.

NRR is really good for NZ
 
One thing is for sure, the satellite of the "bad´duaayei´n" of the Pakistan fans will have to be solely directed at England, for it´s only them ahead of whom Pakistan can qualify for the semi-finals. Anyone out there who´s still hoping for New Zealand to stay behind is fooling himself, and here´s why: because they´re a team who´re yet to lose a single game. Now, for the sake of it, let´s suppose that they indeed lose all the three remaining matches, and Pakistan on the other hand end up winning all their three remaining matches; they´ll then both stand on equal number of points. It´ll then come down to the net run-rate, and Pakistan´s run-rate is appalling at the moment.

Lets not forget Pakistan still has Afghanistan / Bangladesh to face, which on any good day could turn out to be a game changer for the NRR.
 
so to summarise we need England to lose all three matches and for us to win all of our matches..can we go through if we win two out of three matches?

Well india arent going to lose 4 so discount that one. So we need England to lose three and lanka to lose two..which can happen as i dont think england are that strong anymore..we'll see on tuesday..they can turn the aussies over on their day so lets see..

so if england win on tuesday are we done?
 
New Zealand are their for the taking, they have been lucky in a few of their matches, windies and Bangladesh could have easily gone the other way. I think we can beat them, i would be more worried with Bangladesh.

No. If England lose to both NZ and India after beating Australia, SL lose atleast one and PAK win all their matches, PAK will go through.
 
To beat New Zealand out on N.R.R, Pakistan will need to hammer one team in the way they got hammered by West Indies. If New Zealand then lose by 40/50 runs in their matches against Aussies, England and Pakistan, they will possibly be out.

Which he did, got 1 wicket in his first over of his second spell and dropped Miller in his next over of the same spell.
 
Essentially we need NZ & Eng to lose their remaining games and for us to win ours.

In an ideal(/realistic) world - Eng lose at least 2 of their remaining games (vs Ind, Aus & NZ) and we win all 3 of ours (vs NZ, Afg & Bang) inshAllah
 
We need England to lose all their matches. This is the most possible way. The SL loss is the only thing that made it even remotely possible. If they win 1, we have to then with 4/4. We won 1, but I do not see us winning 3 straight from here especially against NZ.

These are tough games for England, but they should not be in the SFs if they can not win 2/3. If we somehow win 4 in a row, we deserve to be there because we beat England, SA and NZ in the process.

Anyway, it's all still a long shot for now, very dependent on England folding.

England will most likely only win 1 of 3 three from NZ, Aus & India which will leave them on 10 points.

We need to win all our remaining 3 to move to 11 points.

If England lose all 3 they'll remain on 8 points.

We absolutely need to defeat NZ AFG and BD to move to 11 points.
 
My reading was that if 2 teams are on the same number of points, then the head to head winner goes through, if it was a washout them its NRR, am i wrong?

I think this is for semis and finals only. For group games NRR comes first.
 
Whatever happens from now one, one thing is clear. whoever makes it to Semis will fully deserve it, not just fluke

If Pak wins all their remaining 3 games, they fully deserve to be there. They would have beaten one of the tournament favorites (England) and lost to two others. They also would have beaten potential table toppers (NZ) - Fully deserved place in Top 4

If India goes through, again they would deserve it as they have shown very consistent good quality cricket overall. Their bowling is world class and batting not bad. I personally don't think they have it in them to win this cup. But lets hope they do

If NZ goes through again, they would deserve the spot. they have been the most consistent team. They have won three very close games holding their nerves, twice while chasing (BD, SA) and once while defending (WI)

Australia - again look very well balanced. their top order has come through, middle order good enough and bowlers have been competent. They had one bad game against India and have pulled through again all others

Only Shaky team now is England. They have either looked like million dollars (Afg, BD) or pretty ordinary (Pak, SL). If they manage to win two against the three toughest teams, then i would say they again deserve to be there.

Teams that might sneak are SL and BD. SL has consistently looked below par and although BD has looked very good they have never looked like beating hte best teams in the tournament (Aus, England). Only good team they stretched was against NZ. If either of them make it, they would consider themselves lucky

and they can perfectly well do that!! Although i rate BD as a very good team, i think when it comes to winning big matches I would rate Pak better. Afg pushed India to corner but have not looked like they will be able to beat Pak. So there is a realistic chance for Pak to make it into the Semis. You will know by end of Wednesday. If England loses to Aus and Pak wins against NZ, i would bet even money that Pak will make it to Semis

Absolutely hilarious how we might take up Englands SF spot. :))

Sri Lanka defeating England did wonders.

Yea to think how badly they thumped us in the 5 match series and how highly they were rated going into the tournament
 
Possibility of India intentionally dropping points to Bangladesh to avoid Pakistan’s entry to semis

If India wins against a West Indies and makes it to 11 points, could India play clever and try to drop 2 points to Bangladesh to give them
A QF match against Pakistan?

Personally I don’t want that.

We should play every game to win and we should NOT be afraid of Pakistan entering semis. Yes they are a dangerous KO team but what goes goes.

Thoughts?
 
This doesn't make sense as if Pakistan get to the semis, it would just be a free win for India. And if Pakistan beat Bangladesh, then it doesn't matter what happens in the India vs Bangladesh match.

India dropping a match intentionally against SL so that they get in over England would make more sense.
 
Lol why would India fear the weakest Pakistani team ever? Bangladesh on the other hand being a very good cricket team can definately upset India
 
LOL check out the arrogance... "free win for India".... this was the same arrogance displayed by the IAF in Feb and then they got their behinds handed to them with two planes shot down, a pilot captured and a helicopter shot down in friendly fire. We also saw this same arrogance before CT17 final.

Both BD and SL can beat india without india having to concede the matches. Indian middle order is a joke and will lose them important matches

You're thinking way too ahead! For that to happen Pak has to first win against the table toppers NZ on Wed!
