New Delhi. India has given life to Pakistan by defeating America in the T20 World Cup. India defeated America by 7 wickets on Thursday. With this win, Team India has confirmed its place in the Super-8 of the World Cup. With India’s victory, Pakistan’s path to the Super-8 has become easier. Let’s find out what is the equation of Super-8 in India-Pakistan group.
In the ICC T20 World Cup, apart from India, Pakistan, USA, Canada and Ireland are in Group A. India have made it to the Super-8 by winning all three of their matches. He is number one in the group. Only two teams from a group can reach the Super-8. America is currently second in the group with 4 points. But Pakistan, Canada and Ireland can also reach 4 points. That means now there is a competition between America, Pakistan, Canada and Ireland for the second place in the group.
T20 World Cup: India-USA match could go either way… Rohit’s first reaction after the win
Now there are three matches left in Group A of the T20 World Cup. India, Pakistan, USA and Canada have to play one match each. Ireland have two matches to play. If the USA beats Ireland on June 14, they will get 6 points. If that happens, the US will qualify for the Super-8 and Pakistan, Canada and Ireland will be out of the race.
If Team USA loses to Ireland, the door will open for Pakistan, Canada and Ireland. If USA loses and any team from Pakistan, Canada or Ireland wins, they will get 4 points.
It is easy to understand if we look at the equation of Pakistan. First of all, the American team needs to lose against Ireland. After this Pakistan team should beat Ireland. Apart from these two matches there is only one match left in the group and that is India vs Canada. This match is unlikely to have much of an impact on Pakistan’s equation. The reason is that Team Canada can upset Pakistan’s equation only if they win by more than 60 runs against India. Now, Canada’s chances of winning against India are slim, so it is a little too much to expect them to post an emphatic victory.
