Predict where Pakistan will finish in the World Cup group of 10

[Ronaldo7]

I wouldn’t get cocky if I was you, especially against WI who have beaten Pakistan against the odds in a few fair contests:

- 2004 CT semi-final
- 2007 WC opening match
- 2015 WC group game


The only reason why I’m bringing up some historical contests is because back then Pakistan were heavy favourites and a much better team. Now if you compare both sides, WI actually have more match winners and it’s fair say they have a better team on paper, led very well by Jason Holder, so why write them off?

There's a difference between being favourites before a match and then actually winning or losing the match. Favourites DO LOSE contests sometimes that doesn't mean they weren't favourites before.
Btw the 2015 contest wasn't even against the odds, pak was just bad.
Bookies hold pak favourites over wi so obviously pak are favourites coz bookies are not biased.

 

[Mean&Green]

It’s Pakistan so it’s either all the way or no where. So either we will win it or be out in the first round

 

[Dr_Bassim]

It’s Pakistan so it’s either all the way or no where. So either we will win it or be out in the first round

That is also a myth peddled around that Pakistan are unstoppable when winning.

For the 50 over WC at the back of my mind,

1996 QF India
1999 Final Australia
2003 Out quickly
2007 Out quickly
2011 SF India
2015 Out quickly

So it's not a guarantee over the last 23 years, that Pakistan will win it, if they reach the QF, SF or Final for that matter.

Heart says 4th.

Head says 8th (only above Sri Lanka and Afghanistan)

I agree with bookies as well because they use statistical methods and all kinds of mathematical models to derive the odds.

But I'm not sure even they can have Pakistan as favourites now, have you just seen what WI have posted against NZ's first-team bowling attack?

 

[msb314]

8th

They still are favourites.

 

[ameemlutfi]

3 wins out of 9 games .

 

[HGhazanfar]

I think Pakistan beats - South Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, West Indies

Loose to England, New Zealand and Australia.

Ha, I wonder if we can score 422 to beat WI

 

[Usman Chadda]

Ha, I wonder if we can score 422 to beat WI

Not many teams in this WC can chase down 422. Only England.

 

[Afhan Ali]

8th

 

[Markhor]

6th.

2015 QF so why out quickly? Lost against the team that won it.

Overall PAK more often then not shows up during big events. Just 1 of the few teams who won all 3 ICC TROPHIES.

zara sochiye.

 

[shariqnoor]

I can't take you seriously after the first paragraph.
Wi and bd are favourites over pak?? Lol.
In what world??

I hope you understand now why WI was favourites over Pakistan. Believe me even Bangladesh is favourites.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Think il change my decision to bottom of the group now.

 

[cricket4all]

What a joke of a performance today, most embarrassing. Definitley the Pakistanis won't win even 1 game.

 

[the Great Khan]

theyll finish at the bottom..going the way of Hockey..

 

[Ronaldo7]

I hope you understand now why WI was favourites over Pakistan. Believe me even Bangladesh is favourites.

But they weren't favourites. Favourites can still lose you know...

 

[Ronaldo7]

I didn't know our team was this bad...
Losing to the 8th ranked team who barely qualified for this wc beat us so convincingly.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

At solid 10 after the first game.

 

[ARK Rafay]

It's a tough choice between 9 and 10.

 

[MenInG]

It's a tough choice between 9 and 10.

Early days but yes, this is looking as a possibility.

 

[Qadeer]

Pakistan will make semis atleast, wheels will be turning against english side on monday and they are never looking back

 

[Haripotter]

Pakistan is good at round robin. The team will end up at the top of the table. 1st for sure

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Inshaallah they will still top the group by winning all the remaining matches.

 

[Captain caveman]

Optimistically 4th
Pessismistically 10th

Shabash!

 

[Shaddy86]

5th, narrowly missing out SF spot because of NRR.

[Sherazkhalid]

[Chokli]

5th, narrowly missing out SF spot because of NRR.

[Asif321]

5th, narrowly missing out SF spot because of NRR.

Hahahah shabash

 

[Chokli]

They exceeded my expectations, boyz played well

 

[MoJoJoJo]

Bro, Can you tell when the world will end? xD
Right on the spot..

 

[Hasan123]

Finishing 5th is nothing to do banghra over. It is a respectable achievement, but just shows the minnow mentality that people are content with this.

 

[Green Patriot]

5th, narrowly missing out SF spot because of NRR.

Who are you

 

[hadi123]

5th, narrowly missing out SF spot because of NRR.

Damn. To predict this before that thrashing against WI is crazy. Lottery numbers please

 

[msaaim89]

I think narrowly missing the semi final spots and finishing 5th.

5th, narrowly missing out SF spot because of NRR.

Good calls!

 

[farazaidi]

Kudos to the 7 souls who predicted Pakistan will finish 1st. May God bless you all

Too good yarrr, spot on.

 

[Snatch]

I thought Pakistan would finish 6th or 7th, so full marks to them for finishing 5th.

That was ahead of their ranking coming in, so a successful WC for them.

Well done Pakistan, punched above their weight.

 

[The Viper]

Good calls!

Not bad at all.

 

[QalandarFan]

Might win against Bangladesh, Afgh and SL. Never going to beat other teams. Bowlers have no brain, batting is average with no firepower and fielding is horrible.

Well put Einstein!

 

[Technics 1210]

5th

Well done! Spot on prediction!
