New Delhi, February 25: The Pakistan cricket team continues to face disappointment in the T20 World Cup 2026. Following a loss to England in the Super-8 match on Tuesday, Pakistan finds itself on the brink of elimination from the semi-finals, with only a miracle potentially allowing them to secure a top-four spot.
In Group 2, Pakistan is competing against Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and England, with each team set to play three matches. England has already qualified for the semi-finals after winning against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Their final match is against New Zealand on February 27.
Pakistan’s first Super-8 match against New Zealand, scheduled for February 21 in Colombo, was abandoned due to rain without a ball being bowled, resulting in both teams sharing a point. To keep their semi-final hopes alive, Pakistan must win both of their remaining matches. However, the defeat against England has put them in a precarious position.
To advance to the semi-finals, Pakistan must secure a significant victory against Sri Lanka in their final Super-8 match on February 28. This win would give them three points and improve their net run rate. Additionally, they will need New Zealand to lose both of their final matches against Sri Lanka and England. In this scenario, Pakistan would have three points, New Zealand one, and Sri Lanka two, allowing Pakistan to qualify for the semi-finals.
