Is it possible to qualify for the semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 with only 1 win in the group stage?

With 1 L already and an Indian hammering on Sunday, there is a permutation where pak go through with 1 W vs Bangladesh

Alot rests on Bangladesh beating India today and NZ winning all their games.

There is hope on paper. But no hope on the pitch.
Our batsmen have a mentality disorder. These slow starts are intentional- they lose a wicket and shut up shop.

Lose the powerplay lose the game.
Rizwan and Aqib have drilled this "wickets at the back end" rubbish. Doesnt work. The SA win was the worst thing to have happened as it cemented this mentality despite it only coming off if you have your 2 middle orders converting centuries. It was an outlier not a predictable gameplan. Unless they change tactic they are cooked. We have the players playing within themselves.

Roll on India
 
It is possible to qualify with 1 win but other results have to go your way.

For example,
If NZ win all games
If Pakistan beat BD
If BD beat India
If India beat Pakistan

In this case, 3 teams can end up with 1 win and 2nd qualifying team would be determined by NRR.
 
Its Sunday and India is supposed to lose as per PP , also Pak should win against BD so thats two wins there.
