Actually, if Pakistan team had defeated New Zealand in the last match of Group A, then India would have qualified for the semi-finals. But, looking at the performance of the Pakistan team, it seemed as if they were playing not to win but to lose. What happened was that New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat first. After which Pakistan had a chance to bowl out New Zealand on a low score, but the team dropped catches not once or twice but 8 times. If the team players had caught even half of these catches, New Zealand could have been restricted to around the score of 80. At the same time, New Zealand team could reach the score of 110 runs in 20 overs at the loss of 6 wickets.

Despite poor performance in fielding, Pakistan did something similar in batting. Pakistan team could have achieved the target of 111 runs given by New Zealand by playing wisely. But, the entire team was reduced to a score of 56 runs in 11.4 overs. During this period, 9 batsmen of Pakistan could not cross the double figures. Whoever came would go away after playing a poor shot. Two batsmen were even run out. The team lost the last five wickets by adding just four runs. It was only captain Sana Fatima who hit some good shots. This kind of poor performance is rarely seen in international cricket. It seemed that the Pakistan team did not play to win the entire match.
