Pakistan is definitely gonna be derailed into 5th position after Afghanistan v England game

Things are getting little tricky for Pakistan in the standings, because after yesterday's thrashing off India, Pakistan's Net Run Rate (also known as NRR) was dipped to -0.137, and right now at Delhi's stadium, Afghanistan and England are locking horns over each other, where Afghanistan batting first, scored 284/10 where they were bowled out with a ball to spare, but remember, this is the same ground where South Africa scored three centuries while scoring 400+ score and in return Sri Lanka scored little over 300 in reply, but an aggregate of 700+ runs were scored from the both sides, hence I am expecting Afghanistan were 20 30 runs shorter, although historically Delhi's stadium has been low scoring venue, but what I heard off the ground, new outfield was laid down and hence we might observe something newer and something we cannot expect off the ground historical records.
It is heavily anticipated, that till current position, England is 117 in 20.3 overs and as per that position in time, standings have been evolved to this position, which derails Pakistan on to 5th position, and furthermore, coming up games for Pakistan are not easy peasy, by easy peasy slang I am not downgrading any team, but the fact is those teams from where we could improve our rankings, such games are nowhere for Pakistan, hence I am expecting another similar fate which we all saw during the Cricket World Cup of 2019 for Pakistan, where Pakistan's and New Zealand's points were equal but just on the basis of NRR, NZ moved forward and otherwise Pakistan boarded themselves to Jinnah International Airport in Karachi.
