Pakistan require an outlandishly big victory but if Bangladesh bat first, their chances of catching New Zealand will be gone. “We will do our best to win the last game as well to end on a high and we will do our best to achieve that but we need to be realistic, but if Allah helps then miracles can happen,” he said.

Pakistan’s highest total at the tournament is the 348-8 they made in their shock win over England. The host nation’s 397-6 against Afghanistan is the best of the World Cup so far.“If you look at the tournament then, realistically, the tournament is of 280-300 totals,” said Sarfaraz.
