New Zealand appeared to be the dominant team in the tournament, having won four matches in a row and showing great coordination. However, their momentum was disrupted with a narrow defeat to India. Then followed a heartbreaking 5-run loss to Australia. Moreover, in their last match, they were convincingly defeated by South Africa, which has put their chances of reaching the semi-finals in jeopardy.

Just when it seemed that Pakistan’s World Cup campaign was faltering, they found renewed energy. In their last game, they convincingly defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets, marking their first win after a series of losses. This win was primarily due to an outstanding bowling performance, with Shaheen Afridi (3-23) and Mohammad Wasim Jr. (3-31) leading the charge to restrict Bangladesh to a mere 204 runs.
