India , after winning 8 consecutive matches in the ODI World Cup 2023, has ensured that they will end up as table toppers in the league stage of the tournament as no other team will be able to win 8 games in the ongoing World Cup edition. Pakistan, on the other hand, still has a chance to qualify for the semi-finals hence they should end up in fourth position to play India in the semi-finals.

Here, in this article, we will see how Pakistan can play India in the semi-finals:
- Pakistan should win their last game against England and end at 10 points in the table.
- Other sides like Afghanistan and New Zealand should lose their remaining games in the tournament to stay at 8 points.
- Teams like India and South Africa already have more than 10 points and if Afghanistan lose to Australia, as mentioned above, then they will also have more than 10 points in the table. Hence Pakistan will end in fourth position in the table.
If all these above points happen, then India will face Pakistan at Eden Gardens venue in Kolkata.
