With England winning the match, the chances of Pakistan qualifying for the semi-finals have drastically slimmed down and we know you’re trying to do the math like:

Pakistan will have to beat Bangladesh today with a margin of over 450 runs to qualify…
So this is what Pakistan need to do to qualify for the semi-finals:
If Pakistan make 350, they need to bowl Bangladesh out for 38
If Pakistan score 400, they need to bowl Bangladesh out for 84
If Bangladesh bat first, there is no chance of Pakistan qualifying#CWC19 #PAKvBAN— Saj Sadiq (@SajSadiqCricket) July 3, 2019
In a press conference yesterday, Sarfaraz promised the nation to give their best performance and maybe even score 500 runs:

And people were feeling all sorts of ways:
Never ever criticise someone who believe in himself. Beshak mojzay dekhanay wali zaat us pak rub ki hai. Wo jisay chahay izzat day jisay chahay zilat day.
InshaAllah pakistan will qualify for the semifinal ❤ #PAKvBAN pic.twitter.com/PH26PoUTGb— Syeda Rida Ali (@SyedaRidaZehra6) July 4, 2019
There were memes:

11am and we’re still thinking the same:
It's 4:53 am and your boi here still thinks that Pakistan cricket team can score 500 and bowl Bangladesh out for 80. #PAKvBAN #CWC19 #wehavewewill

You’re not the only one!
Am I the only one who still believe that Miracle will happen tomorrow & Pak will beat Bangladesh by 350+ runs & will qualify for Semis#PAKvBAN #WeHaveWeHill

Confidence ho toh aisa, go teammm!
If I was the captain, I would make sure boys make 500, if England can score 480, why not Pakistan? I feel @TheRealPCB is going to Play one of the finest cricket against @BCBtigers Today! History will be made Today! I am quite confident! #BleedGreen #PAKvBAN #PakistanCricket

People have also beenvurging others to cheer for their team no matter what:
I really hope every Pakistan fan who goes to the ground on Friday screams and cheers their heart out, back our boys to give one last great performance and just really enjoy the cricket! Let's show the world what the spirit of cricket is! #PakvBan #CWC19

People had innovative ideas:

Hmmm, sounds do-able:
PAKISTAN CHANCES INTO SEMIS:
If Pakistan bats first, scores 400+ runs and lock bengali team up in the dressing room.#PakvBan #ENGvNZ #NZvENG— Arsalan Naseer (@ArslanNaseerCBA) July 3, 2019
Agreed, no harm in exploring options for the future:
We most probably won't do it, but I would really go for it tomorrow, show proper intent, go out on a high if nothing else
Of that means bringing Asif in and opening with him and Fakhar, then go for it
If nothing else we can explore some options for the future#PAKvBAN— Fawads Gaylestorm🏏 (@AlfaaaazMere) July 4, 2019
But while there was tons of support for the team, people were also bummed about it:
Sarfaraz: we will try to score 500
