As predicted - Group 1 consists of...

Right now, while I am typing these lines, the final lineup from Group-1 is finalized, which as per statistics and NRR standings, New Zealand is the Group-1 first team whereas England is the Group1 second team, whereas tomorrow is the turn of Group-2 where at once within a single day, two teams tomorrow by this time will be finalized who'd be playing New Zealand and England respectively during semifinals.

Prospects for Pakistan

I personally do not want Pakistan to go on as the current خلیفہ گیری culture in current Pakistan outfit should not be tolerated, because already our society has deteriorated the ethical and moral norms within the society, which is not my concern because on an international medium like BLOGGER, we shouldn't plagiarize Pakistan on international arena, but this thing should not be tolerated being Muslims, 

When it comes to Pakistan's situation, Pakistan is more likely to have the same fate as Australia where SL and ENG were playing but Australia lost, similar is the aspect for Pakistan where India and Zimbabwe would be playing for Pakistan to either qualify for semifinals, otherwise back home, but like we say in Urdu اس طرح گر گر کر کھیلنے کے بجائے واپس ہی آجاؤ as country's respect and dignity matters, although if while playing like that, even if we win, we shouldn't be tolerating this خیلفہ گیری within the team, because everybody was cheering for current outfit just because the دیدہ دلیری they had shown till the semifinal against Australia, people even praised them, this is the culture we should promote instead of showing off the world that we are playing while being afraid of the team we're playing with.

Winning and losing are the two side of the game being played

This is the main thing we should remember that whenever two teams play, one has to win and similarly other has to be on the other side of the win, but the intent being shown is something be exuberating instead of cowardly portraying the brand of Pakistan Cricket on International arena.

Personally feel, India and South Africa

If there won't something like a Zimbabwe-Pakistan game, I personally feel India and South Africa are supposed to be the two teams qualifying for the semifinal berth, although being a Pakistani boy, I would still be cheering for Pakistan, but because the way Pakistan have performed, I should not blindly support the boys in green, although I am cheering for team Pakistan but realistically Pakistan has a mild chance, as currently while I am writing these lines, all of the Group-2 teams have played 4/5 games each, hence while India would be playing Zimbabwe, and if according to the expectations, India wins, than India will score 8 points, otherwise if Zimbabwe wins, it'd give Zimbabwe something to cheer about but would also stuck India on 6 points, when it'd require Pakistan to win game against Bangladesh, because already Pakistan's NRR is superior than India's therefore this is the only circumstances Pakistan can qualify, means in order to Pakistan to qualify, it is needed to be acting like Australia who were watching England v SL game, which is something I personally don't like being a Pakistan cricket fan.

What is next for Pakistan?

Tomorrow after completion of Bangladesh clash with Pakistan, it'd be either Pakistan be playing New Zealand in the semis otherwise it's next encounter would be against England in test match cricket, where Pakistan would be hosting England for the test match series starting from the first test match staged at Rawalpindi, second test match to be played at Multan between 9th December to 13th December, and finally third and penultimate test match to be played at Karachi during 17th December to 21st December, similarly just after completion of England series, small test match series between Kiwis be played respectively in Karachi and Multan during the new years' eve, where first test match to be played between 27th December to 31st December 2022 and second test match to be staged between 4th January 2023 to 8th January 2023 following with a Karachi-centric ODI series where 11, 13, and 15 January 2023 games be played between the opponents.
Afterwards, New Zealand is going to make another trip to Pakistan, for T20 games which is also going to be mostly staged in Karachi which will start from 13, 15, 16, 19 April where all of these games are going to be staged in Karachi, whereas last T20 game is to be played on 23rd April in GSL, after completion of T20 series, from 26th April 2023, first 26th April and second ODI 28th April is to be played at GSL, starting from the third ODI at Rawalpindi on Labor Day i.e. 1st May, 4th May and 7th May, but I personally feel it is going to be a hard fight series after watching recently concluded T20I series against England, as I am personally feeling Pakistan won't have that courage to play with their strength and weaknesses like we utter in management studies known as SWOT analysis, sorry to say, the management at PCB, don't have courage to analyze their strengths and weaknesses, otherwise other teams while traveling to our region, analyze their strengths and weakness in order to cater their challenges they are supposed to be facing while touring Pakistan.
