    Equations for Pakistan to reach the semifinals.

    Equations for Pakistan to reach the semifinals of World Cup 2023 are now clear.

    There was a race between New Zealand, Pakistan and Afghanistan for a place in the semi-finals of the World Cup 2023. But after New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Afghanistan’s hopes of making it to the semi-finals have been dealt a blow.

    World Cup 2023 is in its final stages and the picture of the semi-finals is almost clear. India, South Africa and Australia have already reached the semi-finals. The fourth place is vacant for which New Zealand and Pakistan are fighting. New Zealand has registered a big victory over Sri Lanka by 5 wickets in 160 balls. After this, Pakistan’s hopes of going to the semi-finals are almost over. So let us know how the semi-final equations of Pakistan are shaping up.

    Be a Winner

    Equation-1st for Pakistan to reach the semifinals.

    If Pakistan wins the toss and they choose batting first they will have to defeat England by a margin of 286 runs or more.

    In such a situation, if Pakistan scores 450 runs then they will have to restrict England to 161 runs. If they score 400 runs then they will have to restrict England to 112 runs. If Pakistan scores 350 runs then they will have to all out England for 62 runs and if Pakistan scores 300 runs then they will have to all out England for 13 runs which is almost impossible.

    Equation-2nd

    If Pakistan loses the toss and bowls first, it will be almost out of the race for the semi-finals even before the match starts. Because if this happens, Pakistan will have to win the match in just 16 balls. This means that they will have to win the match against England with 284 balls to spare. Which is not possible.

    These are only two equations for Pakistan to reach the semifinals of World Cup 2023.
