Pakistan’s chances of making it to the Super Eight stage of the ICC T20 cricket World Cup 2024 have taken a serious hit as they lost for the second match in a row, this time to India, their bitter rivals.
Pakistan is now dependent on a number of fortunate results from other games in order to advance in the tournament, as their prospects of doing so have decreased following the loss.
Pakistan’s fate at the Super 8 stage now rests on how the other teams in the tournament perform, having lost both of their opening matches. Pakistan is in a risky scenario where its future depends on a number of “ifs and buts”.
Both of the United States’ final games against Ireland and India must be losses.
The United States may advance to the Super Eight stage with just one more win, which would make Pakistan’s future even more difficult.
Pakistan’s World Cup journey will end abruptly during their match against Ireland if Ireland and India defeat the United States.
