PAK vs ENG | ‘Mission near impossible’ for Pakistan; England eyes CT spot

The Hindu  

A ‘dead-rubber’ militates against everything elite sport packages so well — excitement, anticipation, nervousness, jubilation and energy-sapping exhaustion. For Pakistan to enter the World Cup semifinals at New Zealand’s expense, it needs to win by 287 runs at a venue where the average first-innings score is 242. Pakistan, powered by a sensational century from Fakhar Zaman, beat the Kiwis last Saturday to breathe fresh life into its campaign only for the same Black Caps to nearly snuff it all out with a convincing victory over Sri Lanka. England’s 160-run win over the Netherlands in Pune on Wednesday snapped a wretched five-match losing run and seemingly released the handbrake which Jos Buttler & Co. has been playing with.
