Pakistan's next challenge is a three-match Test series at home against England. Following that, they will have a two-month break before facing South Africa and West Indies in two-match Test series, running until January. To keep their hopes alive for a spot in the WTC Final, Pakistan will need to secure victories in most of their remaining fixtures.

Pakistan's Upcoming Test Matches Before WTC Final

Pakistan will host England for a three-Test series from October 7-24.

From December 8 to January 3, Pakistan will tour South Africa for a series that includes three T20Is, three ODIs, and two Tests.

West Indies will then visit Pakistan for a two-Test series from January 16-24.

Pakistan still have an outside chance of reaching the WTC Final if they manage to defeat England 3-0 and South Africa 2-0. However, achieving these results will be extremely challenging. Beating England at home will be a tough task, and overcoming South Africa on their home turf will be nothing short of a miracle given Pakistan's current form.
