The T20 match of Pakistan Vs South Africa to be held on Thursday in Sydney Cricket Ground is crucial for both teams. So far, no team has yet confirmed their place in the final four, with many Super 12 matches remaining.
South Africa scenario
They currently have 5 points, they will reach 7 points if they win their match against Pakistan which all but confirms their semi-final spot. They have the highest net run rate +2.772 in the group and are unbeaten. Their last match is against the Netherlands.
India scenario
Currently, India has 6 points and is at the top of the table, a win against Zimbabwe would fix their semi-final spot. They have a net run rate at +0.730.
Pakistan scenario
For Pakistan, it is a must-win game to be in the T20 World Cup. Their current rate is at +0.765. If they win this match and win the next match against Bangladesh and that too with a big margin of net run rate, they stand a chance to qualify.
Bangladesh scenario
Bangladesh has to defeat Pakistan in the upcoming match. Their net run rate is at -1.276 and currently have 4 points. If they win the match they will get 6 points.
Both Pakistan and Bangladesh would hope that India looses to Zimbabwe in the upcoming match.
