Hosts England qualified for the semifinals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 after beating New Zealand by 119 runs in their last group match at Chester-le-Street on Wednesday. This win not only secured the semifinal spot for England, but also effectively ended Pakistan's hopes of making it to the final four. While it is mathematically possible for Pakistan to still make it to the semifinals, it seems practically impossible. For Pakistan to reach the semifinals, they will have to beat Bangladesh in their final match by a huge margin. If Pakistan bat second then there no chance even if they win off the first ball.
