Bangladesh lose virtual quarter-final by 5 wickets, Pakistan reach semis
Bangladesh eventually end the T20 WC campaign with 4 points, just behind the Netherlands in the table due to negative NRR.

Pakistan have comfortably sealed a 5-wicket victory in Adelaide to reach the semis of ICC T20 World Cup 2022. They have a come-from-nowhere entry to the semi-final. That would have been more pronouncing if the tournament hadn't delivered them almost on demand.
Today's game was wobbly despite the start to the chase being stable.
Babar didn't look set but he spent time at the crease, got 25 off 33 in a low chase. Rizwan made 32 and ensured there were no wickets in the first ten. That was also because a catch was dropped off of Taskin's bowling by Nurul, the keeper, in his first over.
After the tenth over, Bangladesh created chances but luck wasn't as favourable as balls fell in no-man's-land areas and overthrows started costing them.
The stars for Pakistan were Mohammad Haris and Shan Masood, the former slaughtered and the latter steered the modest chase to a safe finish.
Talk about luck smiling on you. Well, it definitely smiled on Pakistan today not only in terms of the Netherlands' historic win, but also a few fifty-fifty calls in this game.
Edges falling safely, catches going down, a few decisions going in their favour.
But Bangladesh have only themselves to blame, having lost their way after a bright start.
They scored just 57 in their last 10 overs, finishing with just 127.
And then the keeper put down a straightforward chance third ball off Rizwan. It needed a disciplined effort in the field, but there were misfields, overthrows, no-balls, dropped catches. You can't do that with a paltry total to play with.
