How will Pakistan team reach Super 8
T20 World Cup 2024: India vs Pakistan An interesting match was played between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024 on 9 June. In this exciting match, Team India defeated Pakistan by 6 runs. The big thing is that while this is the second consecutive win for the Indian team, the Pakistani team has faced defeat in two back to back matches. Due to this, Pakistan is in danger of being eliminated from the tournament even before the Super 8. Although Pakistan’s path is difficult, but if the Indian team helps them a little, then there can be some possibility.
India and USA have four points, Pakistan’s account is not opened
Actually, India has played two matches in the league stage so far. In the first match, it defeated Ireland and then in the second, it succeeded in defeating Pakistan. On the other hand, if we talk about Pakistan, then it had to face defeat from USA in its very first match, while in the second, it was defeated by India. If we talk about USA, then it succeeded in defeating Canada in its first match and then defeated Pakistan as well. Now the problem is that India and USA have four points. On the other hand, Pakistan has nothing right now. All these teams have two matches left from here. Now the question is that even if Pakistan’s team wins both its remaining matches from here and USA loses both its matches, then Pakistan and America will have equal four points. In such a situation, it will be necessary that Pakistan not only wins its matches, but wins by a big margin, so that its net run rate also becomes higher than America.
Pakistan is yet to play against Canada and Ireland
Pakistan will have to win both their remaining matches against Canada and Ireland. Not just win, but win big. Now just winning will not be enough as they have lost two matches and will need some help from other teams, especially India. India’s next match will be against USA and Pakistan will want India to keep winning. Pakistan can tie USA only when USA loses both their remaining matches.
This is the current status of net run rate
Pakistan will need both India and Ireland to overtake the USA. Net run rate will then come into play. Currently, the USA has a net run rate of +0.626 and Pakistan has -0.150. So a big win for Pakistan in their next two matches and an equally big loss for the USA will be the only way for Babar Azam’s team to make it to the top 8. Keep in mind that if the USA wins even one of their remaining two matches, Pakistan will be eliminated.
