After the back to back marginal defeats against India and Zimbabwe, Pakistan were virtually out of the competition. However, apart from the team needing to win all their following matches, Pakistan also required any one of the outcomes in group 2 to go in their favour. It was the Netherlands who resuscitated Pakistan back into the competition after the Dutch sent shock waves on Sunday morning by defeating South Africa. This sudden revival of a final chance to advance into the semi-final could have only made sense if Pakistan were able to defeat Bangladesh in the following match and quite convincingly they did it by five wickets finishing second on the group 2 table with six points. Meanwhile, New Zealand made it to the semi-final quite comfortably with just one defeat in five matches against England in the group 1. The Blackcaps topped the group 1 points table with seven points and became the first team to make it to the knockouts.  Both the teams have a momentum built-up at this point and a close contest is expected on Wednesday.
