That is if they bat first, win by 462 runs or field first, then get Ireland out for 100 and chase it within 10 overs
That's not the point - it's still mathematically doable hence why the line up for the other quarter finals won't be concluded until the final two group games are over.
Kav,
Pakistan winning by 462 or chasing 100 in 10 overs is impossible... Any other team, yes mathematically doable, but if maths was a speaking entity, even it would throw in the towel on Pakistan in such a scenario...
That's all fair and well but neither me or the ICC can confirm for sure who will be playing where until the final two group games are over...
Mathematics can never be flawed.Come on Pakistan prove it.

Unconfirmed reports that Irfan is out injured for Ireland game.
The winner of the match between Pakistan and Ireland will go through in third place and will face Australia in the last eight, unless there is a tie or the game is washed out; in which case both will go through and West Indies will miss out. Ireland's poor net run rate of -1.01 means if they lose they are definitely out.
The West Indies have to win to stand any chance of going through, at the expense of the loser of the other game. However, the Windies could win and still go out if Pakistan lose but end up with a superior run-rate. As it stands, Pakistan have the superior rate of -0.19 to West Indies' -0.51.
The team finishing fourth in the pool will play Pool A winners New Zealand.

Fack that sheesh he is in my FC team
Poop poss. .. I mean Go Ireland
I'm sure many people have Gayle in there side too but he's out injured.
West Indies will have to chase whatever total within 40 overs I reckon to get a better NRR than Pak.
West Indies will just have to do their job and beat UAE and then hope no big shocks occur in the other game which Pakistan are expected to win on paper.
And another for the big man
Can't see UAE getting more than 120..
what has happened to Kenya, Canada and The Netherlands. Surely must be better than UAE and Scotland.
Any chance of rain tonight??
It's supposed to be mid 20 degrees throughout the day in Adelaide so I'd say the chances of any rain are negligible.
Massive advantage batting first, even bigger advantage with irfan not playing. Ireland 2-0 up
Massive blow. Poor decision to play Adil.
Not sure why they've opened with him either... Complete nonsense
