Shoaib Akhtar was left disappointed after India's loss to England in the World Cup, denting Pakistan's chances of qualifying for the semifinals. In a must-win game for hosts England, India were set an imposing target of 338. "It was for the first time the entire subcontinent, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans were praying for India to win against England. However, with the win, England are back in the top four with 10 points, one more than Pakistan. The 1992 winners, who face Bangladesh in their final group stage match, have slim chances of reaching the knock stage should England win their game against New Zealand.
