On the day that India, England and, barring a mathematical miracle, West Indies completed the quarter-final line-up, Pakistan beat Australia by four wickets in Colombo to take top spot in Group A.
Paceman Umar Gul took 3-30 to help Pakistan dismiss Australia for 176 -- their lowest World Cup total since 1992 -- before Umar Akmal (44 not out) and Asad Shafiq (46) helped steer Pakistan to victory in 41 overs.
Pakistan finished with 10 points and will play the fourth-placed team in Group B, while Australia (nine points) finished third behind Sri Lanka (nine points) on run-rate and will play the second-placed team from Group B.
That could mean a clash with India in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
Saturday's loss was Australia's first in the World Cup since losing to Pakistan by 10 runs in Leeds in 1999.
