Pakistan's chances of reaching the semifinals have been dealt a massive blow after their loss to India. However, their chances are not completely over. Pakistan will need to win their final game against Bangladesh and depend on other results to reach the knockout stage. If New Zealand lose both of their remaining matches against Bangladesh and India, a win for Pakistan in the final game will mean that they will have 2 points from 3 matches along with New Zealand and Bangladesh. In that case, they will be able to reach the semifinals with the help of a better net run-rate. The Champions Trophy 2025 has been an exciting tournament so far, with many teams still in contention for a spot in the semifinals. India's win over Pakistan has put them in a strong position to advance to the next stage, but other teams will be looking to capitalize on Pakistan's losses and make a push for the semifinals.
