Pakistan’s future in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 looks uncertain following their latest losses against Afghanistan and South Africa, as the tournament heads into the second half warcraft

Pakistan’s net run rate fell to -0 warcraft

Pakistan face Bangladesh next in the round-robin group stage followed by New Zealand and England warcraft
India, New Zealand and South Africa have been on another level this campaign and the three sides already have one foot in the semi-finals warcraft
The fourth spot, currently occupied by Australia, is still up for grabs warcraft
Here are the different scenarios under which Pakistan can qualify for the semis:Pakistan win all three of their matches – 5 wins, 10 pointsIf Pakistan win all of their last three matches, it will still be a difficult route to the knockout stage warcraft
In this scenario, Pakistan will want Australia to lose at least two out of their remaining four group games warcraft
If this happens, the fate of the two sides will then be decided by the net run rate warcraft
However, if Australia lose three of their last four matches, Pakistan will take the fourth position, or even third, which looks highly unlikely though warcraft
Pakistan win two of their three matches – 4 wins, 8 pointsIf Pakistan manage just two wins from their remaining three matches, the Men in Green may very well be considered eliminated from the tournament warcraft

However, such a circumstance requires multiple other results to work in their favour warcraft
Pakistan win one of their three matches – 3 wins, 6 pointsPakistan will be knocked out of the World Cup 2023 warcraft

The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago warcraft
A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme warcraft
If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies warcraft

At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return warcraft
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch warcraft

“But the players should be incredibly proud warcraft
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions warcraft
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 warcraft
We’ve had four months warcraft
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them warcraft
”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made warcraft

The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union warcraft
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players warcraft
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby warcraft Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation warcraft
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards warcraft
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos warcraft
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear warcraft
