^ No, it is not by 49/50 runs BUT 25.5 = 26 runs.
Pakistan’s net run rate is -2.4
Netherlands’ is +0.050

We need to beat them by around 26 runs. That’s for sure.

(-48 + x)/2 > (1 - x)/2

=> 2x > 49
=> x > 25.5

any victory margin of equal to or greater than 26 runs will see pakistan through.

Bat first: Pak have to win by 26 runs or more

Bowl first:

If Netherlands score 120, Pak need to score it in 16.2 overs
If Netherlands score 130, Pak need to score it in 16.4 overs
If Netherlands score 140, Pak need to score it in 17 overs.
If Netherlands score 150, Pak need to score it in 17.1 overs.
If Netherlands score 160, Pak need to score it in 17.2 overs.

net runrate calcuation: here

That is if Netherlands bat first.

If we bat first we have to win by a margin of 49-50 runs
