Pakistan were left with an improbable task in their game against Bangladesh to make the semis, needing to win by a margin of 316 runs. While Michael Vaughan sarcastically tweeted that he still gave Sarfaraz's men a chance, Waugh out-rightly termed the Pakistan team 'not good enough' to win the Cup.

England's comprehensive victories against both India and New Zealand meant that Pakistan walked into their match against Bangladesh with an improbable task to reach the semis, having to win by a margin of 316 runs or more. While skipper Sarfaraz claimed in the press conference that scoring 500 wouldn't be out of their reach, former cricketers and fans have had their own say about the contest, and in more cases than not, have added a touch of sarcasm to it. 

Ahead of today's match, former English skipper Michael Vaughan took to Twitter to express his views about Pakistan's chances, where he claimed with a touch of sarcasm that one cannot rule out Pakitan bowling Bangladesh out for zero.

However, former Australian batsman Mark Waugh was dismissive of Vaughan's sarcasm and claimed that no calculations would matter, while going on to label the Pakistani team "not good enough" to win the World Cup.

Pakistan would look back to their first game against the Windies, a match which saw them getting bowled out for 105, as the root cause for the improbable task that they face.
