Cricket World Cup 2023 Points Table: Afghanistan Out Of Top 4 Race. Pakistan's Position Explained

Afghanistan crashed out of the Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals race after slumping to a five-wicket loss against South Africa on Friday. Afghanistan needed a massive win to stay in the race but the loss means that Pakistan and New Zealand are the two left with a chance of reaching the semifinals. New Zealand have the advantage with 10 points from 9 matches and the Kiwis have the best Net Run Rate (NRR) in comparison to Pakistan and Afghanistan. With 8 points from 8 matches, Pakistan need to win their last league match by 287 runs if they bat first. If they chase, Pakistan will have to win with at least 284 balls -- more than 47 overs -- to spare.

SA vs AFG, Cricket World Cup Live: South Africa look to bounce back from the humbling they suffered against India as they take on Afghanistan in their Cricket World Cup match in Ahmedabad. While the Proteas have already qualified for the semi-finals, Afghanistan need a 438-run win against South Africa to push New Zealand out of fourth place on net run rate, which seems highly unlikely. The Proteas will take on Australia in the second semi-final next Thursday, with India most likely to square against either New Zealand or Pakistan on Wednesday. (Live Scorecard | Points Table)
