In the World Cup, India will face New Zealand in the semi-finals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday. In the other semi-final, South Africa will face Australia at the Eden Gardens on Thursday. The semi-final line-up was confirmed after the Babar Azam-led Pakistan got officially eliminated from World Cup 2023 after failing to chase a huge 338-run target in 6.4 overs against England - which was always going to be an impossible task.
Pakistan entered their crucial match against England with slim hopes of staying in the tournament, but those hopes were dashed before the first ball was bowled. England's captain, Jos Buttler, decided to bat first after winning the toss, dealing a decisive blow to Pakistan's chances of reaching the first semi-final against India. Pakistan faced an improbable task, with the need to chase 338 runs in a mere 6.4 overs. Their challenge intensified as openers Abdullah Shafique and Fakhar Zaman fell within the initial 3 overs, with David Willey, set to retire after the World Cup, claiming both crucial wickets.
