Did Pakistan Qualify for ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Semi-Final?
No, Pakistan failed to qualify for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals, much to the disappointment of millions of fans. The Green Shirts finished fifth on the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 points table, with a total of eight points from nine matches. A lean patch in the middle where they lost four games on the trot did not augur well for Babar Azam and co, who fell short on Net Run Rate (NRR) with New Zealand pipping them. What's worse is that they signed off from their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign with a heavy 93-run defeat at the hands of England.
The Green Shirts began the CWC 2023 well with two consecutive victories but then suffered losses to India, Australia, Afghanistan and South Africa. Moreso, some of these defeats were heavy ones which caused a massive dent to their NRR.
