World Cup 2019, 1st Semi Finals: India Vs New Zealand

, No comments
It's semi-final time, folks! India takes on New Zealand in the first semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2019 at Manchester. India have been in superlative form coming into the final, while the previous edition's finalists New Zealand have stuttered and stumbled their way to the semis.

India topped the group stage with just one defeat while their match against New Zealand in Nottingham was washed out. New Zealand, the tournament runners-up last time, grabbed the last semi-final berth after a hat-trick of defeats nearly derailed their strong start in the tournament.

Head to head stats

Overall: India and New Zealand have played in 101 ODIs and India lead 55-45 with one game being tied.

In World Cup: The Kiwi lead 4-3 in 7 World Cup matches with the last meeting between the two sides coming in the 2003 edition held in South Africa, Kenya and Zimbabwe.

In England: The Men in Blue have had a bad record playing against the Black Caps in England and lost all 3 games they played against them, the last of them being in the 1999 World Cup.

World Cup 2019, Pakistan scenarios to Semi finals

, No comments
Here are the scenarios by which Pakistan can finish ahead of New Zealand for semi finals.

If Pakistan get to bat second against Bangladesh, they have zero chance of qualifying for semi-finals.

If Pakistan get the chance to bat first, they need to defeat Bangladesh by a margin of 300 runs.  If Pakistan score 300 then they need to bowl out Bangladesh for 0.

If Pakistan bat first and they make 400 then they need to dismiss Bangladesh for 84 runs and win by 316 runs in order to finish above New Zealand. One more scenario is, Pakistan bat first and dismiss opponent for 38 runs and win by 312 runs.

The possibility of these scenarios to become a reality are next to impossible, which means that practically Pakistan have no hope of qualifying for semi-final but mathematically it is still in the race.
