This can help you
... Anyways get chilled .............Pakistan
Remember the 1992 World Cup? The World Cup in which Imran Khan's side rose literally from the ashes like a phoenix and won the tournament after a disastrous start. The current Pakistan team have started emulating them and already people are drawing the similarities and expecting them to lift the World Cup.
However all of that will crash if they manage to lose against Ireland on March 15 and West Indies manage a big win against the UAE.
Interestingly the Pakistan vs Ireland is the last match of the league phase. Expect a thriller before the tournament enters the quarter-final phase.
Ireland
Ireland, have been the dark horse of this World Cup. They have two matches remaining, one against India and another against Pakistan.
If they manage to win both games, they will cruise through to the quarters. In fact even if they manage one win they will still qualify.
But if they lose both games and if West Indies win against the UAE (no huge win needed this time) then their promising run will come to a stall. Ireland's outside chance in this scenario, South Africa losing to UAE seems very unlikely, so they need to get atleast one win.
Whatever happens, Ireland have shown why associate nations should not be pushed out and deprived of a chance in the next World Cup.
West Indies
Like England in pool A, WI have been a massive disappointment in this World Cup. From the start, due to squabbles with the management, the former two time champions have had many headaches coming into this World Cup.
However, their sole remaining game is against minnows UAE. If they manage to get a huge win, which is not improbable, and if Ireland manage to lose both their remaining games, then the Windies can go through as their NRR is better than Ireland. Also, if Pakistan lose against Ireland there is still an outside chance in terms of NRR. They'll need a huge win against UAE though.
