Pakistan and New Zealand are now level on points with one league game to play. Whichever team gets a better result will finish higher.
Follow all the action from the Cricket World Cup 2023 on our special World Cup section. You can also find the latest stats, like the top scorer and the highest wicket-taker of the current edition, upcoming World Cup fixtures and the points table on the site.
Pakistan face England in their last league fixture while the Kiwis play Sri Lanka. Kane Williamson’s men are placed higher on the points table at fourth on net run rate.
Their 33-run defeat at the hands of Australia, their sixth in seven games, finally ended England’s title defence with two matches left to play.
Their fifth straight win took the Aussies a step closer to the semifinals. Though their spot isn’t confirmed yet, with matches against Afghanistan and Bangladesh to come, they are well placed.
Afghanistan are also in with a shout, but have to win at least one of their final two games against Australia and South Africa, and hope to benefit on NRR.
