Currently occupying the sixth spot in the league table, Pakistan’s Cricket World Cup campaign has unravelled after a superb start saw them win both their opening games. Bangladesh, too, won their opener against Afghanistan, but have not managed to pick up another point since. They are currently in the penultimate spot in the table, only ahead of England due to their better Net Run Rate.
