As per the current equation of the points table, Pakistan can still mathematically make it to the semis but they need a massive win. New Zealand have 10 points after finishing all their league games. Pakistan will play the must-win game on November 10 at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens.
Pakistan played against New Zealand in the last game, which had an abrupt ending due to incessant rain. The Kiwis showed their strength in batting by producing a 400-plus score in the first innings. Though it looked like a difficult task for Pakistan, Fakhar Zaman changed the course of the game with a centurion knock. Powered by his unbeaten 128, Pakistan had scored 200 runs, losing a single wicket before rain came into play. The Asian giants were awarded a crucial two points, going by the DLS method.
