Pakistan look to qualify amid bleak probabilities and risky propositions

This year’s journey of Pakistan in the ICC World Cup seemed to retrace the path of  1992. It rekindled the memories of the year when Pakistan were crowned as the World Champions. However, the permutations and combinations changed completely after England handed over a defeat to India. Now, Pakistan lie on the fifth position with 9 points and a win would mean a tie with New Zealand. But, a deficit of run rate is hard to overcome. Their journey in the World Cup will be over if they fail to defeat Bangladesh by more than 300 runs. Their run will also be over if they bat second because then they would need to overhaul the target in less than zero balls which is mathematically impossible. Bangladesh, on the other hand, are out of the race of making it to the semis. They have shown promising some brand of cricket and have ridden on the wave of Shakib’s all-round performance. However, their journey has ended but they will hope to end their campaign on a high.
