The Pakistan team and its fans must have breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday, June 12, as Team India defeated USA in a T20 World Cup 2024 group stage match. India won by seven wickets and qualified for the Super 8. Had the USA team won this match, the way forward for the Pakistan team would have been almost closed. However, India’s win has benefited Pakistan and the team’s chances of reaching the Super 8 remain alive. Understand the whole scenario of how Pakistan team can reach Super 8.
India became the third team to qualify for the Super 8 after South Africa (Group D) and Australia (Group B). India chased down the target of 111 runs with the loss of 3 wickets despite facing early difficulties against a spirited American side at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. With this, Team India has become the topper in Group A with 6 points. USA is in second place after the loss. However, the team’s net run rate has dropped, which could be a concern for them to reach the Super 8s.
India vs Australia clash before T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals, ICC announced
Let us tell you that three matches of Group A are still left. The USA will face Ireland on June 14. The match between India and Canada is on 15th June while the match between Pakistan and Ireland is on 16th June. Pakistan team cannot get Super 8 ticket on their own. In such a situation, Babar Azam and company will be praying that Team USA loses to Ireland. At the same time, if the weather in Florida remains unfaithful and the USA-Ireland match is washed out due to rain, the Pakistan team will be out of the Super 8 race, as the USA will get five points.
However, there is a chance of rain in Florida on Friday and if the weather is kind to Pakistan, Pakistan will need an Irish team to defeat the USA. After this Pakistan team should beat Ireland on Sunday. In this way Pakistan team will reach Super 8, because currently Pakistan’s net run rate is better. Even if Pakistan’s match on Sunday is a washout and USA loses, Pakistan will be out of the tournament. The match between India and Canada will not make any difference to Pakistan. USA will also have a chance to make history by beating Ireland and reach the Super 8 for the first time.
