Cricket World Cup 2023 Latest Points Table: Afghanistan's hopes of qualifying for ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals came to an end as Rashid Khan-starrer side suffered a five-wicket defeat against South Africa on Friday in Ahmedabad. Afghanistan needed a significant victory over the Proteas to keep their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals aspirations alive, but the loss now leaves Pakistan and New Zealand as the only two teams with a chance to reach ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals. Even for Pakistan, it is almost impossible to make it to semis as they need to beat New Zealand in their final league match, today, by 287 runs if they bat first. If Pakistan bowls first, they need to beat their opponents by chasing down the given target with at least 284 balls remaining.


The undefeated Indian cricket team has already secured the top position in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Points Table, and this remains the case even if they were to lose their final league stage match against the Netherlands on Sunday, which is unlikely to happen. Apart from India, Australia and South Africa are the other two teams who have qualified for ODI World Cup 2023 semifinal. The last remaining fourth spot, in all likelihood, will be occupied by New Zealand.
