New Zealand team is a strong team which is not so easy to beat in this World Cup New Zealand has done well from the start. In my opinion, if Pakistan run rate was low, Pakistan could have lost the match due to DSL method. It was not an easy task to score 200 runs in 25 overs from a strong bowling attack like New Zealand.

Paksitan done a really good job and everyone should admit it because it's like impossible for any team to chase 400 in world cup but they way paksitan start the inning I am sure if they continue thier ongoing momentum then they will easy won this match as both of thier player are well settled and playing at next level. Anyway now paksitan deserve to be a semifinalist at least as they have revived thier typical from bottom to the top play. Now paksitan just required Afghanistan to lose his match and then NewZeland lose his match or just won by small margin then possibly paksitan will reach to semifinals which will make tournament more colourful

New Zealand set Pakistan a target of 402 runs. When the run target is 402 there will definitely be a pressure in the team. Pakistan's batsmen showed that they can play well with a huge target of 4002 runs and come close to victory. Had it not been for rain, this match could have gone for Pakistan. If Pakistan batsman Fakhar and Baba Azam were playing the way they were playing, they would have won the match. The semi-final became very easy for Pakistan. I personally want Pakistan to play semi-final.

It was beyond my imagination that any team could win despite batting at a huge target of 402 runs. Because the batsmen will be under a lot of pressure when they come down to bat against such a big target. And there will be a chance of losing wickets quickly. Pakistan lost the wicket of their opener Abdullah Shafique very quickly. He got out after collecting only 4 runs off 9 balls. But still Pakistan won due to responsible batting by Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman. Babar Azam batted very responsibly. But Fakhar Zaman batted aggressively. Fakhar Zaman's strike rate was 155. With a win in this match, Pakistan still has a chance to reach the semi-finals. In the last match, Pakistan will play England. Pakistan can qualify for the semi-finals if they win by a big margin.
