Pakistan’s only realistic chance to qualify for the ICC World Cup 2023 semi-final is to beat England by 287 or more runs.
If the Jos Buttler-led team bat first, Pakistan will be eliminated even before coming out to bat. The reason is the scenarios attached to their hope.
The Men in Green must complete the chase in a few overs. Meanwhile, Babar Azam is still confident of his team’s big win and looks forward to the semis.
“We can do what is required and will plan things accordingly. We will have to achieve our targets and have players who are capable of making it happen. If Fakhar Zaman stays till 20-30 overs, we can put up a big score. Mohammad Rizwan and others are also good enough. We will go for our target,” Babar Azam said in a press conference.
Babar roasted Wasim Akram, Shoaib Malik, and others for criticizing his team during their campaign.
