Afghanistan is facing a virtually impossible task to qualify for ICC World Cup semifinals given the current circumstances.

It is almost impossible for Afghanistan to qualify for ODI World Cup 2023 semifinal following New Zealand’s 5-wicket win over Sri Lanka in Bengaluru.

Afghanistan has so far won just four out of eight matches in ODI World Cup 2023 tournament.

This is Afghanistan's best performance ever in ODI World Cup. They had won just one match across 2015 & 2019 World Cups.

Regardless of the outcome on Friday, Afghanistan has garnered significant respect for their composed performances throughout ODI World Cup 2023 tournament.

To qualify for ODI World Cup 2023 semifinal, Afghanistan need to beat South Africa by a whopping 438-run margin on Friday (November 10).

Just like Afghanistan, Pakistan too faces almost impossible scenarios to qualify for ODI World Cup semifinal. New Zealand has the best chance to qualify for semifinal and face India.
