Can Pakistan Women stay alive in the Semi-Finals race of the Women's ODI World Cup 2025 if they defeat New Zealand today
How can Pakistan qualify for Women 's ODI World Cup 2025 semi-finals? Pakistan women's Cricket Teams's World Cup challenge is likely to end in the group stage. Both England & Pakistan got one point each after the contest between the two sides was abandoned due to rain. As a result, the Fatima Sana-led side is still at the bottom of the overall standings and they have not been able to win a single match in four matches. They still have three matches left and everything is going to be fine for the others.
England batted first and scored 133 for 9 in 31 overs. The match was reduced to 31-31 overs due to rain. Pakistan were given a revised target of 113 in 31 overs and they scored 34 for no loss in 6.4 overs. However, rain returned and the match was abandoned. Both teams were awarded 1 point each.
This single point finally opened Pakistan 's points account. England reached the second spot with a total of 7 points. Pakistan's dream of reaching the semi-finals is almost over, but if we add up the points, Pakistan still has a chance, but they will have to win all the remaining three matches. Pakistan has to play against New Zealand (October 18), South Africa (October 21) and Sri Lanka (October 24) in the remaining matches. Apart from this, Pakistan will have to depend on other results as well.
How can Pakistan stay alive in the semi-finals race?
Pakistan can now reach a maximum of 7 points by winning all three matches. England and Australia are leading the semi-final race with nine & seven points respectively. England and Australia will face each other on October 22. So one of these two teams will definitely advance and this will mean that Pakistan's problem will increase further.
Pakistan can reach a maximum of second place with 7 points, but for that they need England to lose their remaining three matches. If Pakistan loses any of their remaining three matches, their challenge in the tournament will end.
