Pakistan's fate to reach the semi-finals of the 2022 T20 World Cup depends on the results of other matches.

Although it seems difficult for Pakistan to reach the semi-finals, there are still some chances.

Here are the criteria’s for Pakistan to reach the semi-finals of the 2022 T20 World.

[{"selector":"#anim-a14433ee-c922-4b8d-81ca-e9ac421e76b9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.556580382757105%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a5e9bd9-2b4a-45cb-bdb1-8f6dfc284f8d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-40361360-7d8e-4942-895d-3f50d4eed48e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 192.56122%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Pakistan need a big win in the remaining two matches, so that they get an extra 4 points to take their total to 6 points and improve their NRR.

India need to lose one of their remaining two matches to leave them with 6 points, same as Pakistan. Then NRR will come into play.

[{"selector":"#anim-448c644b-17b7-46ee-86d6-e30bde544131 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5a6bd8b3-1a4e-4f78-b7dd-49bf1fc9ed89","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0c1610a1-45a1-4ca0-ae2f-befd924d0561","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 148.72751%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

South Africa need to lose their remaining two matches, as a win in two would take the Proteas to 7 points.

[{"selector":"#anim-7d5f4e3e-9ac6-4a87-bd8a-bbb0b365b7a9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(35.55126854952158%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-30d21444-8cba-43b5-b010-a4f446da7c0d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-954d336a-24cd-4d85-ab23-7ca2b207c321","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 181.35722%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Bangladesh, who are on 4 points, also need to lose their remaining two matches to give Pakistan a chance.

[{"selector":"#anim-ed899449-6c5b-4974-82a4-f35fec94c9e9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.8779637311743%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0223ad4c-6b2f-4609-ab4a-be4f258791c6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d5000638-2a65-40fd-a6ca-0d1f7eb4ebf3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 139.78895%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

A win against India will take Bangladesh to 6 points, the same as Pakistan (If Pakistan win their remaining two fixtures).

Zimbabwe lose one of their remaining two matches, and a couple of wins will take them to 7 points ahead of Pakistan (If Pakistan win both their games).
