How can Pakistan qualify for Super 8 in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024?
To qualify for Super 8 in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan needs to beat Ireland by a big margin on June 16. A loss against Ireland will result in Pakistan's elimination from the tournament and Super 8 stage. Also, Pakistan will benefit if the USA loses their next match against Ireland on June 14.
Pakistan improved their Net Run Rate (NRR) by winning against Canada, and they need to ensure their victory margin against Ireland is larger than the margin by which the USA lost to Ireland.
Lastly, Pakistan would prefer India to defeat Canada. In case India fails to win against Canada, something which is unlikely to happen, Pakistan must ensure their net run rate remains superior to Canada’s at the end of group stage games.
Group A in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 consists of five teams: India, Pakistan, USA, Ireland and Canada.
After securing consecutive victories in three matches, India currently tops the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Group A points table with 6 points. Following their loss to India, the USA is in second place with 4 points, although their Net Run Rate (NRR) has now fallen below that of Pakistan.
Pakistan, having convincingly chased down 107 runs in just 17.3 overs against Canada on Tuesday (June 12) has improved their NRR significantly.
