What Pakistan need to do for Super 8 qualification?

• The calculation is pretty straight for Pakistan. They play Namibia on February 18 and need to win to finish at six points and qualify for the next stage. A loss today puts Pakistan on level with USA on four points. Meanwhile, USA defeated Namibia earlier today.
• With India playing Netherlands in their final group match, Pakistan would want the Dutchmen lost to Suryakumar Yadav's men. In case Pakistan lose to Namibia and India lose Netherlands, the teams placed in second, third and fourth positions will be level on four points each. Then the NRR will come into play as to who advance to the next stage.
• A rain washout could also help Pakistan through to the next stage. In case of a rain washout, both Namibia and Pakistan will have one point each. In that situation, Pakistan will have five points to USA's four.
