Pakistan eliminated South Africa from the Twenty20 World Cup with an 11-run win over the Proteas in St Lucia on Monday which kept their own qualification hopes alive.
The result meant England, who have won both opening Super Eight games, go through to the last four regardless of the outcome of their final match against New Zealand later on Monday.
Pakistan and South Africa both have two points from three matches but Pakistan have a superior run-rate.
New Zealand, also on two points, will go through with a win over England.
Umar Akmal struck 51 from 33 balls as Pakistan recovered from a poor start to make 148 for seven.
In reply, South Africa were only 56 for three after 10 overs but a spirited 53 off 41 balls from AB de Villiers gave them a fighting chance which they were unable to make the most of as Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal took four wickets.
