second hat trick in a World Cup, the other one was Chetan Sharma in WC87

Pakistan qualify for the semi finals, Zimbabwe have to hold whatever breath they can, India can pack their bags

good return to form for Pakistan, Zimbabwe just go from bad to worse, and the scary thing is that they still probably make the semi finals

tomorrow's match is New Zealand v India. NZ just need to win to make the semi finals. India just need to play the match.

an Indian win will finalise the semi finals, with Australia and Zimbabwe advancing, and reducing the Aus-SA clash to the realms of the esoteric

Man of the match is Saeed Anwar

see you tomorrow at 0945 GMT
