If Pakistan manages to win all of their remaining four matches, either New Zealand, South Africa, or Australia will be eliminated from the top four. However, for this scenario to unfold, Pakistan will need some other results to go in their favor.
For Pakistan to have a chance:
- They need to win all their remaining games (although it seems unlikely).
- Australia must lose at least two out of their next five games (which is possible as England and NZ can defeat them).
- Afghanistan needs to lose at least one more game (which is possible against SA or AUS).
Keep in mind that these conditions would result in a higher chance of an upset:

Australia have played one match less than Pakistan, yet their points are equal. Pakistan’s objective is to catch up with Australia. It’s anticipated that New Zealand will secure a victory against Australia. Therefore, Pakistan must focus on winning their remaining four matches with good run rates.
