Would you prefer Pakistan reaching the Semi-Finals of ICC World Cup 2023 and losing to India or not reaching the Semi-Finals at all?

I am mentally prepared for 9-0

Semi final seems improbable enough for me to not worry about India.

Just don't want to loose by 300+ runs this time plus if we manage to move in semi same players will be retained let by captain failure Babar

Like Sourav Ganguly said, nothing could be better than an India vs Pakistan semi final at Kolkata.

Yes!!! It would be good for Ganguly seeing his team win by 300+ runs not for us. Babar brought us enough humiliation with his over-hyped batting and pathetic leadership. We need complete revamp and it will only happen if we fail to enter semi

I've mentioned this before in one of the threads: I prefer Pakistan to reach the semifinals. New Zealand thrashed all the weaker teams initially but is struggling against the top teams now. I feel the Pakistan team deserves it more than New Zealand. I wish the New Zealand match will be abandoned due to rain.

option C: Reach semi final and beat India to reach final.

The ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 is nearing it business end. While three teams - India, South Africa and Australia - have already entered the semi-finals, the fight for the fourth spot is between three teams - New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

All the three teams are on eight points from as many matches. New Zealand (NRR +0.398) are ahead on the basis of net run-rate followed by Pakistan (NRR +0.036) and Afghanistan (-0.338). New Zealand's last match is against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru on Thursday, Pakistan last group stage game is against England in Kolkata on Saturday and Afghanistan last match is against South Africa in Ahmedabad on Friday.

If all three win their matches, the team with the best-run-rate will go through. However, New Zealand have another concern. There is rain prediction in Bengaluru on Friday. If the game gets washed out, they will have to be satisfied with just one point. In that case.

Pakistan and Afghanistan just need to win their matches. The team with the better run-rate will enter the semi-finals. Pakistan already has a much better run-rate than Afghanistan.

According to accuweather.com, there are chances of rain in Bengaluru throughout the day on Thursday.
