Three teams have been confirmed in the semi-finals of the World Cup 2023. And now the battle continues between three teams for the fourth position.
Now there is a lot of discussion about which team will come at number four. Then you people would know very well that India, Australia and South Africa are now in the semi-finals. The semi-finals of South Africa and Australia have now been decided. India is at number one and the team that will compete with India in the semi-finals will be the number four team.
Current Position Of Indian Cricket Team
While India’s match is going to be played at number four, it is not yet known who this number four is. Because there is a fight going on between teams three and four for number four. And those three teams are New Zealand, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
If we tell about these three teams, then all three teams have 8 points each. New Zealand is going to compete against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan is going to compete against South Africa. After this comes Pakistan. And Pakistan is going to compete with England.
only one team will go to the semi-finals and will face India
Out of these three teams, only one team will go to the semi-finals and will face India. And along with this, the other two teams will be out of the semi-finals i.e. will return to their homes. So you guys would know that New Zealand’s match is in Bengaluru on 9th November. And there is a high possibility of rain in Bengaluru on the same day.
If that match is canceled then New Zealand will get only one number. That means New Zealand will have 9 points and its run rate will be 0.398. If New Zealand wins then they will get 10 points and if they lose, they will get 8 points.
And in such a situation, we will have to wait for the match between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Because if New Zealand gets 10 points then Pakistan will have to perform a miracle and its run rate will have to increase. Only then will Pakistan be able to move forward.
Pakistan Will Face India ? Is there any chance??
And after New Zealand’s defeat, Pakistan will have to win only one match. Pakistan is going to face England and currently Pakistan has 8 points. If it wins this match, then Pakistan will have 10 points, after which Pakistan will be able to comfortably go to the semi-finals.
Pakistan’s run rate is -0.338. If we talk about Afghanistan, then Afghanistan is going to play a match with South Africa on 10th November. If Afghanistan wins then it will get 10 points and if it loses then it will get 8 points. And Afghanistan’s run rate is now -0.036.
If New Zealand’s match is canceled and Pakistan loses its match and Afghanistan wins its match, then Afghanistan will go to the semi-finals with 10 wickets. If New Zealand and Pakistan win, then Afghanistan will have to increase its run rate a lot, after which it has a chance of going to the semi-finals.
