LAHORE MIRROR — With four consecutive defeats in the World Cup, Pakistan’s campaign in the tournament is hanging on the results of other teams — mainly on matches involving Australia, and in that, Babar Azam’s men would want Afghanistan or Bangladesh to upset Australians in their games.
Pakistan have played six games and won only two of them and has four points on the table. They’re now scheduled to play Bangladesh, New Zealand, and England in matches to come.
They not only need to win these three remaining matches, but to do it convincingly and then also hope for the results of other games to come in their favour.
The clearest path for Pakistan from here would be to see Australia losing three of their four games, which seems unlikely as two of the games are against weaker opponents like Afghanistan and Bangladesh. So, they would want more upsets in the tournament.
They would also want New Zealand to win three remaining matches by winning one against them.
If Australia avoid an upset against Bangladesh or Afghanistan but lose to New Zealand, then NRR could come into effect.
