Kaleem Bijarani: For people asking about Pakistan’s NRR vs New Zealand’s:
The gap between the 2 sides is huge and it is improbable for Pakistan to get their NRR better than NZ’s (or AUS) in just 3 games to go.
If both NZ and Australia win 1 more match, it’s virtually over for Pakistan.

Time for a drink. Pakistan well on top and now they must be thinking of finishing this off quickly and get their NRR up. They still have a mathematical chance of making it to the semis and getting their NRR up must be their priority.
