Pakistan's win revitalized their chances for a spot in the semis but marked the end of the road for Bangladesh. With 14 matches remaining in the league stage, the competition is heating up. Pakistan's triumph, coupled with NZ's two consecutive defeats and Australia's resurgence, has intensified the competition in the top half of the points table as the tournament approaches its critical phase. It's becoming increasingly evident that India and South Africa will almost certainly go through to the semi-finals.
