Pakistan killed 2 birds with one stone
Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 NRR: The Pakistan cricket team has finally won its first match in the T20 World Cup 2024. Although it cannot be said with certainty that the Pakistani team will go to the Super 8, but it is certain that this victory has increased the chances. Pakistan has defeated Canada, which is considered weak, by 7 wickets. However, this match has also not been so easy for them. Meanwhile, by defeating Canada, Pakistan has killed two birds with one stone. Let us understand what has happened.
Pakistan is in the race for Super 8
The T20 match played against Canada on Tuesday was very important for Pakistan. Pakistan had lost its first two matches and this was the reason why the team was considered to be far behind in the race for Super 8. However, now the team has opened its account of victory. This is its first victory in the last three matches. With this, it now has two points and the team has now come to the third position in the points table. The Indian team is at the first position in this group, while the USA team is also at the second position after winning two matches. Till now, India and America are considered to be the strong contenders to go to Super 8 from this group. But now Pakistan has also made its presence felt.
Pakistan’s net run rate also became plus
Meanwhile, if we talk about two kills from one win, then Pakistan has not only gained two points by defeating Canada, but has also improved its net run rate. Which has now turned from negative to positive. Before the match against Canada, the net run rate of Pakistan team was minus 0.150. Which has now increased to 0.191. That means two points were gained and the net run rate improved, so the team has gone straight to the third position. The Canadian team which was leading till now, has fallen behind.
Pakistan will keep an eye on Ireland vs USA match
The problem for the Pakistan team captained by Babar Azam is that its fate is no longer in its own hands. India and USA have already won two matches and got four points. On the other hand, if the Pakistan team wins one more match, then it will have four points. In such a situation, it is important for them that the Ireland team wins the match between Ireland and USA. Along with this, Team India should register a win in the India vs USA match. This will stop the USA team at four points only. The Pakistani team can get four points by winning its next match. After this, the decision will be based on the net run rate. For this, it will be necessary that the Pakistan team wins its next match by a big margin and the defeat that USA gets is big. If this happens, only then can the Pakistan team enter the Super 8.
