Pakistan have slim chance of makinh it into the semifinal but that wouldnt be less than a miracle. Former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram had a hilarious take on Pakistan chances of making it into the semifinal and gave his suggestion.
Wasim Akram, jokingly said that Babar Azam’s team can still qualify for the semis if they lock the England team in the dressing room.
“Pakistan should bat first against England and post runs, then lock the England team in the dressing room and get them timed out,” he said on A Sports.
Pakistan will play for pride against the Jos Buttler-led team. On the other hand, England will be eyeing a win as they are looking to consolidate their place in the points table to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy.
According to the new rules introduced by the International Cricket Council, the top seven teams in the World Cup points table will make it to the prestigious event with host nation Pakistan.
