I strongly disapprove of resignations mid tournaments - these are designed to hog limelight from a team's success or to deflect blame from one's own performance.
Nevertheless, I expect once it is mathematically impossible for Pakistan to qualify for the semis (yes, some are still holding out to hope!), one or two should announce their resignations.
The list of candidates who are beyond their sell by is long. From senior players to management staff to PCB position holders.
Possible:
Sarfaraz to announce stepping down from captaincy
Shoaib Malik to retire from ODIs (probably will try to keep T20s)
Azhar Mahmood? (he should see writing on the wall given the fact Pakistan has done a terrible job in bowling.)
I expect most others to try to hold on until given the boot.
Who will resign and who will be pushed out?
