I was listening to the commentators after the post-match ceremony. They were saying that in case Pakistan bats first and make 300, then they need to bowl out England for around 50. On the other hand, if England bats first then they need to bowl out England for 50 runs and then chase down the target in 2.5 overs. So we are almost assured of a semi-final match between India and New Zealand. The other semi-final match is between South Africa and Australia. The knockout phase for sure is going to be very interesting.
Yes, the chances for Pakistan to qualify is quite unrealistic and its pretty sure that the semi final played between India vs NZ. Pakistan will be quite disappointed and that is the reason why it should be important to keep an eye on NRR after every match and it can hurt so much if they miss the knockout qualification just due to less NRR.
Okay the remaining matches has no spice at all and we have to wait long from now to see the knockout game.
