How Pakistan can still make to T20 World Cup Super 8 after shocking defeat against India?

The greatest cricket rivalry ends on heartbreaking note as Pakistan gets defeated by India in New York on Sunday.

Babar XI suffered a humiliating defeat to archrival India by six runs in their second T20 World Cup 2024 match in New York, jeopardizing their chances of advancing to the Super 8 stage. Chasing a modest target of 120 set by a struggling Indian batting lineup, Pakistan’s star players faltered.

With two losses in last 2 fixtures, the journey of Green Shirts to the Super 8 is now precarious and largely out of their control.

With only two games remaining, here’s how Pakistan can still qualify for the Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup:

Date	Match	Result
June 11	Canada vs Pakistan	Pakistan win
June 12	USA vs India	India win
June 14	USA vs Ireland	Ireland win
June 15	Canada vs India	India win
June 16	Ireland vs Pakistan	Pakistan win

If Pakistan win from both Ireland, and Canada and India outclass both USA and Canada, then Pakistan will advances the group stage with four points.

Pakistan and USA would then be tied on points, bringing Net Run Rate (NRR) into play. Therefore, Pakistan must secure convincing wins over Canada and Ireland and hope the USA loses to both India and Ireland by substantial margins.
