Afghanistan defeat on Monday was their third straight loss in World Cup 2023

However, Pakistan are still not out of the Cricket World Cup semis race

To qualify for semis, 5th-placed Pakistan (4 points) need to win their remaining matches

They next play against South Africa (Oct 27), Bangladesh (Oct 31), New Zealand (Nov 4) and England (Nov 11)

If Pakistan win the next 4 matches and secure 12 points with superior NRR then they should reach the semis

With 3 wins from 4 matches, Pakistan will need favour from other teams including Australia

Only 2 wins from 4 matches will mean elimination from World Cup for Pakistan

They not only need wins but also a good NRR to compete against IND, NZ, SA and AUS for semis spots
