Pakistan's chances of reaching the semi-finals stage of the ICC World Cup 2023?

[Devadwal]

I think SL might beat India.

Oh boy, this place is gonna light up then

I wish we have last game against Sri Lanka
If they needed to win the game to qualify then we know .....

 

[pillionrider]

Its SIMPLE

Win all 3 and hope

New Zealand lose all 4
OR
Australia lose 3/4

I calculated NRR by giving us a 300 run win against BD. We will still NOT qualify on NRR

So yeah
WIN ALL 3 AND HOPE New Zealand LOSE TO SOUTH AFRICA, AUSTRALIA AND SRI LANKA


I don't see Australia losing 3/4 as they are playing England, Bangladesh and Afghanistan

Did you factor in Sri Lanka as the 4th team along with SA, Ind, Aus?

 

[pillionrider]

Did you factor in Sri Lanka as the 4th team along with SA, Ind, Aus?

Some Pakistani fans over the next few days

 

[Vikram1989]

I think SL might beat India.

Oh boy, this place is gonna light up then

I think we should help them and get sl in 4 position. We can have them as sf opposition in Mumbai flattrack

It’s simple.

Play your next three matches like u are preparing for next World Cup

Get your openers to hit aerial shots in first 10 overs

Get Babar Azam to score less than runs ball 50 rather that 60 ball 50

Get Harris rauf to bowl as per field . And target stumps . Make him practise like Douglas Jardine

Get your players to loose 100 pounds for Israel - Gaza victims. This will stop some cramps

Change your coach . Mickey is fooling you and so will Hayden . Get an indian coach - jadeja , shastri , amre - they will help your side better than most western coaches

I was with you till the last line.

 

[ArabKnight]

No system is perfect. It is applicable to all teams and everyone benefits from it and also gets the short end of the stick.

In the long run, it all evens out. Pakistan is not crashing out of the World Cup because of such moments.

There is no reason for Pakistani fans to moan. They have had their fair share of favorable decisions in this World Cup including against India that obviously wasn’t part of the script for most fans.

Erasmus was practically refusing to give Pakistani batsmen LBW. Just imagine the reaction if the shoe was on the other foot.

The question was about DRS, not about moaning about this or that. I don’t care about what happened favorable for us in this WC.

My concern was simply about DRS for LBW decisions. The controversy arises when you have a review system to challenge umpires decisions that you think is wrong. The technology uses a computer projected model. Why should there be instances where the decisions falls back to the umpire.

Personally, if it’s hitting, it’s hitting. It should be given as OUT. If every team agrees to this, then why prevent this from being applied?

What's the point getting Indian coaches?

So that we can lose in crucial knockouts and only win useless bilaterals

Its shameful that a 1.4 billion population country- a one sport country hasn't won a SINGLE icc event in 10 years

 

[AMSS]

The technology uses a computer projected model. Why should there be instances where the decisions falls back to the umpire.

Because the projection model works on probability? The model is not an accurate reflection of reality. In cases where the model cannot be sure, the decision is left to the umpire.

Increase your knowledge. How many medals india won in recently concluded Asian game - 100+
And Pakistan won only 3 .1/5 is Pakistan population of india then they should have won atleast 20 medals .right?
So don't be bitter becouse Pakistan is losing games left and right .

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Pakistans world cup campaign has ended.

There’s no way they are going through

SriLanka has more of a chance

Kinda bad! I always wished we could meet them in the semis.

 

[Suleiman]

A yes, once again Pakistan team hoping and praying for xyz side to win and abc side to lose. Can’t get themselves through the group stages like real men.

Pathetic.

 

[Ozeirk]

No one is hoping for a semi final spot. Trust me on that.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Ind vs Pak is getting a bit too boring these days.
I want us to play Nz in SemiFinal, in Wankhede we will definitely have an edge

 

[Hitman]

Ind vs Pak is getting a bit too boring these days.
I want us to play Nz in SemiFinal, in Wankhede we will definitely have an edge

Actually, we have played them in 3 ODI matches (1 with no result) in the recent past. Because we don't play them often, some of us are not being able to realize what the vibes would be in an Ind vs Pak semi final.

 

[latecut]

India is becoming a country that is doing well in other sports as well. India is already in top four in global sports like Hockey, Badminton, Chess. Indians are among the world's best in Archery and shooting.

A day will come when Indian achievements in other sports will so outstrip achievements in cricket that Indians will lose interest in cricket. With that 80% of funding to ICC that comes from Indian market will stop and cricket will end up becoming a minor sport in the world. I am eagerly looking forward to that day.

I am sure you would love that to happen.

 

[Vikram1989]

Ind vs Pak is getting a bit too boring these days.
I want us to play Nz in SemiFinal, in Wankhede we will definitely have an edge

Nz don't have stroke players .If they don't get seaming conditions their bowling will always struggle in any format. Prime example is their awful record in aus.We should have a better chance on Mumbai belter.

 

[MMHS]

It’s finished practically - theoretically, every team is still in contention.

Today, from BD-NED game the elimination starts - looser can’t make it even mathematically.

 

[Ozeirk]

Pakistan is practically out of the worldcup. The batting form is such that they are struggling to play 50 overs and bowlers are not performing upto half of their abilities. It's best Pakistan focuses on these weakness areas in the next 3 games and not take too much pressure.

We should tweak the team after the worldcup but not make any drastic changes. Saud Shakeel is turning out to be a good middle order batsmen and will do well in the future. Abdullah shafique has also shown glimpses of brilliance. The worldcup experience I am sure has been quite valuable to them interms of their growth as players.

Bowlers need rest, they look tired and might be carrying injuries. They need to take a breather after the tournament and come back with a fresh mindset.

Not gonna happen unfortunately

New Zealand can lose to
Australia, South Africa and Sri Lanka

It can happen

 

[light]

You can math all you want, there is realistically no chance for Pakistan, along with Bangladesh, England and Netherlands. I think it's safe to say that IND/NZ/SA/AUS will be playing the semi. IND and SA 100%, if any screw up happens, then I can see SL sneak in, but not AFG.

Lol bro, the team is struggling, why are you hoping to extend their misery. Let them bow out of the tournament in peace and come back another time to fight. There is virtually a worldcup every year.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan's chances to qualify have gone from slim to nine after last night's loss. Pakistan needs to bank on other teams now to loose their matches which I think is not ideal situation.

We HAD TO win the final in Ahmedabad. Wanted that more than any personal wish I have for myself

But like always, the Pakistan team has forced us to watch other teams matches and hope for results that go our way

There will be more worldcups and enough opportunities. Players are simply not in form this time around. They clearly look tired, injured and not in the right mindset.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Australia are in a good situation as they have got most of the tough teams out of the way and have found themselves back in form. I see them making the semis now along with Bharat, Southern Afrikaan.

NZ are Pakistan’s biggest hope right now and unfortunately they’re too professional to implode the way they want.

All said and done , I actually see Pakistan losing another match at the least. They’re been found out in this World Cup. Unfortunate for them but there’s no cornered tiger vibes about this team.

Run them yourself

I put us winning by 200 runs against BD, 50 runs against NZ and 50 runs against England

I put them losing by 100 runs Against Australia, 50 runs against South Africa and 50 runs against Sri Lanka

They were still ahead in NRR

So yeah, just win remaining 3

We are not beating Uganda by 200 runs, let alone quite a decent team in Bangladesh.

Let’s win a game first. Looking at Aus v NZ, our batsmen are in the wrong profession.

 

[saqib.rai]

Pakistan has qualified for only 1 semifinal in the last 20 years, you have to come out of 90s mentality this Pakistan team is very average, can't compete with the top teams

I wasn't watching cricket in the 90s

However, since the start of the t20 WORLD CUP, we have been the most CONSISTENT team in that tournament. Have reached 6 semi-finals/finals in 8 tournaments

We are also the defending CT champions

We broke Australia's 35 match unbeaten streak in ODI World Cups in 2011, defeated both finalists in 2019. Could have won against Australia in 2015 if Watson catch was taken

So yeah, that is why I hate the unnecessary criticism that comes towards our team

And this current team is the best White ball team we have had in the 21st century
Keep supporting them. They will win us multiple ICC titles InshAllah

[mominsaigol]

We are against Bangladesh (2nd worst team of the tournament) and England (3rd worst team of the tournament).

Players like Shafique, Imam, Saud, etc. will be licking their lips to milk in these games.

Why do you hate saud? I get the others? Saud is a free flowing batsmen. He's good. Their not doing his favours by sending him at 6 lol

 

[mominsaigol]

It's all over. Today boys really put their best efforts. But bad umpiring cost us badly. I think ICC should change some stupid rules. Otherwise it will get worst and umpiring will get more baised.

Bro it's not bad umpiring. An umpire call is a fair decision regardless. Klaseen isn't complaining so why shpuld we?

drs said its umpire call and whatever the umpire thought be it edge or missing, it's his call. We need to respect it.

You're clearly speaking from emotion. Support is one thing, unwavering support is a curse.

If you were a parent you'd wanna support your child, but if your child gets into drugs, or some dangerous gang stuff, you don't say keep it up you have my support.

Parenting changes would have to be made, in this scenario fans, pcb, selectors and what not are the parents and Babar 11 is the children, gotta rectify everything and change our parenting decisions. Can't live in the delusion of thinking your child is the best thing to ever happen.

He doesn't? He only did that once when nawaz bowled a no ball.

He signaled to look for it. And he was right in that decision.

When has he gotten LBW's and been like no umpire, Reverse your umpire call decision?

Bowlers need rest, they look tired and might be carrying injuries. They need to take a breather after the tournament and come back with a fresh mindset.

Saud and Abdullah are good players, technically solid and classical batsman.

But the issue here is that Babar Imam Rizwan Saud Abdullah can’t be your top 5, they are accumulators who can’t accelerate at will.

Need to remove atleast Imam for a dynamic batsman (Saim should get a chance)

 

[Mamoon]

If they have authority then why do players like Kohli act like an umpire during the match & make calls.

Players pressurizing referees/umpires in every sport. What Kohli and a few others do is nothing compared to how footballers hound referees.

It is part of human nature. The competitiveness in the heat of the moment. Players will always react to decisions but it is up to the umpires to hold their nerve.

If an umpire is letting player reactions to influence decisions then he is not a strong enough character to begin with.

The 2017 team started the tournament with Ahmed Shehzad and Wahab Riaz lol

Then there was Azhar Ali as well. Also had mediocre Shoaib Malik in SENA conditions

The 2011 team had Asad Shafiq, Younis Khan and Misbah playing white ball cricket. The keeper was K. Akmal lol

Cmon bro, dont paint those teams as being much better than the one we have right now

This current team has amazing cricketers, it's just that we haven't clicked. But individuals in this team are really really good

This current team has amazing cricketers, it's just that we haven't clicked. But individuals in this team are really really good

2017 point is mute when both were dropped wither way. About wahab, Wahab spell to atg India in 2011 and his spells to sa and aus are something not a single pacers in our circuit can come even close to achieving, Wahab's only issue is that he sucked in limited overs tours but he was a gun bowler in tournaments and no current pacer is even fit to lick his boots. That atg India side would murder our bowlers especially Rauf who's a poor man's version of wahab because unlike wahab who can pull blinder spells in cups, Rauf is a trundler in cups. Rauf is a gun fielder though, I will give him that much.

Shehzad was dropped for fakhar who was in the form of his life. Azhar is million tines the player imam will be, the dude has hit match winning 300's in test whereas imam struggles on overseas conditons against Sri Lanka. Azhar stats wise in odi use to have stats of 21 average with 65 sr which is why his end game stats are low.

On his return to cricket as an opener he averages 45 with a sr of 86 and this was achieved with quality bowling of ct 2017 as well as in the embrassing bamgaldesh 3-0 series he was the only player striking at a 100 sr. Imam is a complete joke against quality opposition and besides one 152 once in a blue moon knock, he hasn't done a damn thing besides stat pad against the weakest Zimbabwe, Sri lankan and australian team in which even fakhar scores a 200, 150+ scores etc.

Malik in sena is 1000x the player match winner nawaz . Nawaz is the biggest embrassment to ever play cricket.

2011 team bowling Eats our 2023 batting team for breakfast. Yk and misbah for all their faults wouldn't ever struggle against such a toothless bowling attack, nor would kamran akmal who's bullied oppositions in 2009 and bullied West Indies in 2011 and yes West Indies 2011 bowling attack is > our joke 2023 bowling attack.

Unless a freak collapse happens which happened against Canada for some reason, 2011 team is beating our 2023 team 9 put of 10 times. Our 2023 team will be out for 120 ever single time against that attack especially if wahab is onsong and bowling like he did to atg India.

Our 2017 teams Tears this 2023 team a new one. Fakhar was in form and would outbat everybody, hafeez is 100x the no 4 that rizwan is and so on and so forth.

 

[pillionrider]

However, since the start of the t20 WORLD CUP, we have been the most CONSISTENT team in that tournament. Have reached 6 semi-finals/finals in 8 tournaments

OMG. Pakistan seem to be serial CHOKERS. Disgraceful for a country of HOW MANY MILLION!!!

We broke Australia's 35 match unbeaten streak in ODI World Cups in 2011, defeated both finalists in 2019. Could have won against Australia in 2015 if Watson catch was taken

Amazing. Pakistan would have also won the match vs Australia if the batsmen had hit Zampa for a few more boundaries.

Protip: Next time, keep your hopes limited to winning a World Cup rather than lusting over some political statement where you conquer a land, hoist your flag and trump another religion

The same hopes were dashed in Mohali 2011, because the focus of the fans and media was all about conquering Mumbai.

 

[Thanos]

What's the point getting Indian coaches?

So that we can lose in crucial knockouts and only win useless bilaterals

Its shameful that a 1.4 billion population country- a one sport country hasn't won a SINGLE icc event in 10 years

India hasn't one in last 10 years doesn't mean it'll never win ever. The process starts with winning league matches and reaching to knockouts where India has done well mostly.
Unlike teams which depends on formula of if this team wins against that team, that team loses against this team or if it rains in that match so we get one point else the defeat is inevitable. Lol

We are happy that our team gives its best performance in most tournaments.

And India is good at one sports only? Okay. The internet must be slow in your area.

 

[latecut]

Other teams like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka , Afghanistan have as much chances to qualify as Pakistan if other matches go their way. But things do not work that way when there are already four teams that have their fates on their own hands and they are not dependent on other matches going their way.

In 21st century Pakistan reach semifinals of ODI world same as Kenya. Only one time (2011)

No one wants to conquer a toilet less country. Gosh, people like you actually bring the other person down to your level

Plus, we are NOT chokers
6 semi-finals in t20 World Cups, 3 Finals
50-50

3 finals- won once

Unlike India, choking for the past 10 years. How does it feel NOT winning anything in 10 years with a 1.4 billion population?

Other teams like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka , Afghanistan have as much chances to qualify as Pakistan if other matches go their way. But things do not work that way when there are already four teams that have their fates on their own hands and they are not dependent on other matches going their way.

These teams cannot win 3 consecutive matches

WE CAN. WE WILL

 

[AAli98]

In 21st century pakistan reach semifinals of ODI world same as Kenya. Only one time (2011)

Pak maybe rubbish but they saved the most boring World Cup ever by producing the 1st thriller after nearly 30 one sided games !!

Ok moral victory for Pakistani fans .
Now enjoy the show of big boys

No one wants to conquer a toilet less country. Gosh, people like you actually bring the other person down to your level

Plus, we are NOT chokers

When did you make 3 finals of the 50 over World Cup?

T20 WC

Bro you are too optimistic

But you should accept it that our WC journey is done

 

[gazza619]

We are not beating Uganda by 200 runs, let alone quite a decent team in Bangladesh.

Let’s win a game first. Looking at Aus v NZ, our batsmen are in the wrong profession.

I genuinely don't want Pakistan to win any of the remaining 3 games. I am done.

It feels GOOD when just 11 (often SCRAWNY) guys, have made an ENTIRE country cry since 1992.

Yeah right. We saw who cried in 2017 and 2021

Also in 2004 and 2009 CT

 

[PassionForPak]

Chances are next to zero.
Pakistan can get 10 points max and It is same for England.

They will still lose qualifications by NRR at 10 points most likely.

NZ and AUS, one these teams can flop massively and open up one spot for semis.

But Pak would want New Zealand to keep winning and Aus to keep losing.

The way top 4 are playing, they will only have a positive NRR. Pak needs few legendary matches with victory by 300 runs+ and expect other matches to go their way to have a shot.

Dude

New Zealand can REALISTICALLY lose against South Africa and Sri Lanka. South Africa will start off as favorites against them.

They have already 95% lost against Australia
They will be stuck on 8 points in this scenario

We just need to win remaining 3 matches and qualify by going to 10 points

 

[pillionrider]

I was wondering what is this obsession with the toilets of a country...

Yeah right. We saw who cried in 2017 and 2021

Then it struck me. You've been crying since 1992 and need a toilet to do your crying.

Real men don't cry in public

Also in 2004 and 2009 CT

You forgot Kitply cup.

 

[Mesozoic]

They won't and they don't deserve to...

There are 6 teams that have played better cricket than them this World Cup and they will rightfully finish at 7 or even below at the end of group stage.

Just not good enough... never were.

He himself has confessed he missed the 90's. He probably wasn't even born then.

He believes Babar Azam is better than Kohli and also one of the greatest cricketers Pakistan has ever produced.

 

[docteurmanish]

I was with you till the last line.

Your fascination with Arthur like coaches is interesting .

Domestic indian coaches like dravid, shastri seem to handle the players better . Culture of pak is same as india . Pak coaches don’t come across as refined as say a kumble or jadeja .

You need foreign coaches for say fielding .. but subcontinent coaches will likely get u better results

 

[Hitman]

No, he said Babar is the greatest player Pakistan has ever produced, not one of the best.

Hmm .. we don’t go beg for money from imf or the sheikhs . Feels nice not to beg .

But that’s not the point . Your team is a mediocre team and yes , india did not win an icc trophy last 10 years but did play the world test championships twice in a row final and has been a solid team . Loosing in finals came down to a combo of luck and poor middle order .. we rectified that and showed u how it’s done in asia cup . Meanwhile , u continue to rely on other teams points and misfortunes to advance to semis .

Reliant on begging and misfortune is not a nice way to live . You sir are bragging while begging

 

[latecut]

Why this obsession with this one tournament of this one sport (played seriously by half a dozen country) ? If your team is not doing well in this cricket world cup then move on, follow some other sport in which your country is doing well. That is what the fans of most other countries do.
