Assuming you mean 'we'll lose on Sunday', it may well not matter if we win. Unless Holland beat Pakistan as well, only net run rate can get us through now.

Given that the run rate margin between England and Holland is the smallest possible, if England beat Pakistan we will almost certainly qualify.

If Holland lose they will be behind us in run rate unless it's by one run on the last ball, if Pakistan lose they will have 0 points.

or at least that is the way I read the rules... but it seems horribly complicated!!!

21.9.5 Net Run Rate
A team’s net run rate is calculated by deducting from the
average runs per over scored by that team throughout the
relevant portion of the competition, the average runs per over
scored against that team throughout the relevant portion of the
competition.
In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of
overs, the calculation of the net run rate of both teams shall be
based on the full quota of overs to which the batting team
would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in
which the team was dismissed.
Only those matches where results are achieved will count for
the purpose of net run rate calculations. Where a match is
abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis,
for net run rate purposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team
2’s Par Score on abandonment off the same number of overs
26
faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded but with
Duckworth/Lewis having been applied at an earlier point in the
match, Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the final
Target Score for Team 2 off the total number of overs allocated
to Team 2 to reach the target.
In circumstances where a match (and the points for such match)
is awarded to a team as a result of the other team’s refusal to
play, either by the match referee in accordance with Law 21.3
(a)(ii) as read with playing condition 21.3 or in accordance with
the provisions of the relevant event agreements signed by the
participating teams, the net run rate of the defaulting team shall
be affected in that the full 20 overs of the defaulting team’s
innings in such forfeited match shall be taken into account in
calculating the average runs per over of the defaulting team
over the course of the relevant portion of the competition. For
the avoidance of doubt the runs scored and overs bowled in
such forfeited match will not be taken into account when
calculating the net run rate of the team to whom the match was
awarded.

If Sussex lost to a minor county in an important Twenty20 game, I'd be gutted. But as it was England, I wasn't to bothered. Infact there was a part of me that wanted Holland to win!
