England's massive win against the USA means SA vs WI is a virtual QF now. This is exactly how you must treat these small teams.
During round 1, England was at the stake of elimination but they came back stronger than ever. Always kept NRR in their mind.
If you are a test playing nation and a world cup winning team, these small teams must only provide you the opportunity to boost the NRR.
Pakistan loosing to USA was therefore the lowest of lows for us.
To be honest, it seems like we are far behind the modern teams like England, Australia and India in all departments. Even the players indivually can not match any level. See we have not a single player (in the country) of the calliber of Jos Buttler, Pandya, Bumrah, Cummins.
Anyways, South Africa despite winning 6/6 matches has to come a stage where they are playing looser leaves town match against the home side. The entirely because of the small margins they won with even against small team (USA).
