What would happen if rain ruined Pakistan vs. New Zealand's World Cup 2023 game? To Pakistan's great loss?


World Cup 2023: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, a batter's paradise, will host a match between Pakistan and New Zealand. Although the Kiwis were invited to bat first, the game may be ruined by rain. What occurs if the game is ruined by rain is as follows.


World Cup 2023: The 35th World Cup match between Pakistan and New Zealand will take place in Bengaluru's M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. The two teams are up against fierce competition to get to the tournament semifinals. The supporters, nevertheless, are praying that the bad weather would avoid the match when the two square off in Bengaluru.


Pakistan asked New Zealand to bat first at one of the best batting grounds in India, and the match got off as planned as there was no rain in the forecast for the morning. With a 68% chance of precipitation throughout the day, there is still a risk of showers in the afternoon. AccuWeather indicates that at 1 PM there is a 47% probability of rain and at 2 PM there is a 51 % chance. The weather gods are probably going to threaten the afternoon.


What happens if there is no more game?


As there isn't a reserve day for league stage games (there are reserve days for knockouts), both sides will get one point if the Pakistan vs. New Zealand match is rained out. Pakistan will be in danger of losing because of this, which would have a significant effect on the points table. At that moment, Pakistan would have seven points from eight games, while New Zealand will have nine. If Pakistan manages to defeat England, their highest tally of points would be nine (without taking into account the Sri Lanka match). Then, they would be hoping that New Zealand will lose against Sri Lanka and surpass them in run rate. Another possibility is that Australia loses all three of its remaining games, which are against Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and England. 


In contrast, if Pakistan wins and the game continues, their path will be a bit simpler. They can easily advance if Pakistan defeats England and New Zealand loses to Sri Lanka. In other words, if Pakistan wins both and even if the Kiwis defeat Sri Lanka (on NRR), they may overtake New Zealand. However, in the event of a washout between Pakistan and New Zealand, the Men in Green would have to overcome New Zealand at all costs in order to surpass them on NRR.
