ENGLAND'S World Cup fate will be delivered in Bulawayo tomorrow -- but captain Nasser Hussain insists he will not be watching every ball intently.
As long as Zimbabwe lose to Pakistan but do not capitulate, England will go through to the Super Sixes on net run rate, having finished level on points with both those sides.
That scenario was set up by a two-wicket defeat with two balls to spare at the hands of Australia at St George's Park.
Hussain said: "I don't know if I will pay much notice to that game, it's out of our hands and we will know at the end of Tuesday whether the result has gone our way or not."
A Zimbabwe win would eliminate Hussain's men, who were defeated yesterday after an unbroken stand of 73 for the ninth wicket between man-of-the-match Andy Bichel, the former Worcestershire all-rounder, and Michael Bevan.
Bichel undermined England's swift start to the match after Hussain won the toss with a career-best 7-20 - the second-best figures in World Cup history.
