After analyzing the current standings of the teams in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, it is highly probable that New Zealand will qualify for the semi-finals, reason why my bet is a yes. They are currently in the fourth position with 8 points and a net run rate of +0.398, ahead of Pakistan (+0.036) and Afghanistan (-0.338).
New Zealand will need to either win their last league match against Sri Lanka on November 9 or hope that Pakistan and Afghanistan lose their respective matches against England and South Africa by significant margins.
Given New Zealand's consistent performance throughout the tournament and their strong net run rate, it is likely that they will be able to clasify to the semi-finals.
Overall, based in their performnace, strong net run rate, and favorable remaining schedule , New Zealand is in a strong position to qualify for the semi-finals of the 2023 Cricket World Cup.

NZ vs SL World Cup 2023: Will Bengaluru rains spoil New Zealand's chances to qualify for the semi-finals? https://www.cnbctv18.com/sports/nz-vs-sl-world-cup-2023-will-bengaluru-rains-spoil-new-zealands-chances-to-qualify-for-the-semi-finals-18275961.htm
New Zealand have their final clash set up against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile Pakistan will be locking horns against England who have just roared back into form against The Netherlands. Sri Lanka is not a high morale team right now after what happened against Bangladesh. Furthermore, New Zealand's NRR is unbeatable for Pakistan at this stage of the tournament. So It is going to be a repeat of the India New Zealand 2019 Semi-finals at the Wankhede, this time with a different tale.
