Pakistan may be out of the T20 World Cup even after the win, spoiling the work of the hosts

New Delhi. Pakistan cricket team has been the biggest disappointment in the ICC T20 World Cup. Who better than Babar Azam’s team understands why cricket is called the game of uncertainties. This team was dealt a heavy blow by the host team in the very first match of the tournament. Once again the dream of winning the World Cup against the Indian team remained unfulfilled. The team finally opened their account of victory by defeating Canada but even after this they are in danger of being eliminated.

Pakistan started the ICC T20 World Cup with a loss against the hosts USA. Babar Azam’s team lost to a lower ranked team in the Super Over. This one defeat has given the Pakistan team a big blow. In the second match, the team faced India and as expected lost. Team India was given a target of 120 runs but the batsmen surrendered. Even after the third match win, Pakistan’s trip to the Super 8 looks unlikely.

Pakistan can be eliminated even after a win
Pakistan team can also exit this ICC T20 World Cup by winning it. After losing the first two matches, Babar Azam’s team has kept their hopes alive by winning. If the team wins the last match then they will be in the race for Super 8 but progress will depend on the results of other team’s matches. Pakistan need a big win against Ireland in the last match.

Equation of super 8
Currently, if we look at the ICC T20 World Cup points table, India is at the top. Hosts USA are tied with India on second place with 4 points from two wins. After defeating Canada, the Pakistan team moved from fourth to third place but still trailed behind USA. In such a situation, even if he wins the last match, he will not be able to reach the Super 8. The T20 World Cup has four groups of 5 teams each. After the league stage, the top two teams from each group will advance to the Super 8.
