Pakistan is officially eliminated from the World Cup 2023!

No more calculations and depending on any other’s team performance is now required for the green team.

The ending of Pakistan’s ICC World Cup journey must be attributed to the team’s poor performance.

Babar Azam-lead team lost four matches in a row for the first time in ODI World Cup history.

Pakistan’s chances of reaching the semis diminished after England decided to bat first after winning the toss, however, theoretically, it was possible only if Pakistan had bowled out England to a low score and chased the target in 2.3 overs.

However, this wasn’t the case in reality.

England posted a total of 337 runs at the loss of nine wickets.

Pakistan, sitting fifth in the World Cup points table with eight points, needed to win their last fixture against England by a hefty margin of 287 runs or 260 balls to spare to go past New Zealand’s superior net run-rate.

However, the Green Shirts – while chasing a daunting 338-run target – could get to 30/2 in 6.4 overs, resulting in them bowing out of the semi-final race.

The development leads to the India vs New Zealand semi-final confirmation, which will be played on November 16 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

In the second semifinal, Australia will take on South Africa on November 16 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
