Despite losing 4 games in a row at one point this World Cup, Pakistan have come alive in the race to the semifinals
A win against England could secure a semifinal berth for Pakistan, but the Men in Green need a few things to go their way
A number of results have already gone PAK's way, including a victory against NZ, a feat they managed despite the Kiwis scoring a monumental 401
Afghanistan were coasting to victory when AUS were 91/7 but an incredible Maxwell knock shattered the Afghans, benefitting Pakistan massively
Pakistan will benefit immensely if New Zealand lose their final game against Sri Lanka or the match gets rained out
The NZ vs SL match in Bengaluru could get washed out! There's been incessant rain in Karnataka and there's a 60% chance of rain on matchday
If the NZ vs SL match gets rained out, NRR will no longer be a concern for PAK. Just a win vs ENG could see them qualify for the semis
Last year, PAK were on the verge of crashing out early in T20 WC but key results, including an improbable SA loss vs NED took them to the knockouts
It truly will be 'Qudrat ka Nizam' if Pakistan do make it to the semis, just the way they did in 2022 T20 World Cup, when it looked nearly impossible
