NEW DELHI, Nov 8, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - New Zealand, Afghanistan and Pakistan remain in the race for the final spot in the World Cup semi-finals with one match left for each of the three teams. AFP Sport takes a look at qualification scenarios needed to become the fourth semi-finalist. Victory against Sri Lanka and defeats for Pakistan and Afghanistan will take them clear on 10 points and into the semis. New Zealand boast a better net run-rate than both Pakistan and Afghanistan which could end up being the clinching factor. But if New Zealand win against Sri Lanka then Pakistan will need to beat England by a big margin of around 100 runs to improve their net run-rate.
