Pakistan to take on Bangladesh in final league game today

In the ICC Cricket World Cup, Pakistan will take on Bangladesh in their final league game at Lord's this afternoon. 

The match will begin at 3 P.M. Indian Standard Time. 

Pakistan would need a miracle to qualify for the semifinals. 

After England’s win over New Zealand on Wednesday, Pakistan today needs to bat first and defeat Bangladesh by an outlandish margin of 316 runs. 

However, if Bangladesh bat first, Pakistan are out even before the game begins.

Pakistan currently sit fifth in the 10-team points table. Meanwhile, a win for Bangladesh will



see them end the tournament in fifth place instead of Pakistan because of their superior net run-rate. 

The Tigers are already out of the semifinal race after their defeat to India on Tuesday. 

Australia, India and England have already booked their places in the semifinals.

Last night, West Indies beat Afghanistan by 23 runs in their last league match at Leeds. Earlier, batting first, West Indies scored 311 runs for 6 wickets in 50 overs. 

Chasing the formidable target, Afghanistan were all out off the final ball for 288.
