Actually, an important match is to be played in Colombo between New Zealand and England in Group 2 of Super 8. If the Kiwi team wins this match, then Pakistan will have to return home. Whereas, England’s victory will keep them in the race for the semi-finals. R. This match is to be played at the Premadasa Stadium on the same pitch that was used for the Sri Lanka vs New Zealand match, so once again expect spin, seams and uneven boundary dimensions. It’s going to be another hot and dry day for cricket in Colombo.
Scenario for Pakistan to reach semi-finals
Scenario 1 – If England beats New Zealand on Friday, both Pakistan and the Kiwis will have three points (provided Pakistan beats Sri Lanka). In such a situation, the team with better net run rate (NRR) will advance. Pakistan will hope that New Zealand loses by a big margin and then they beat Sri Lanka by a big margin. Only then will Pakistan be able to surpass New Zealand’s net run rate.
Scenario 2- If New Zealand beats England, Pakistan will be eliminated before playing Sri Lanka as they will not be able to match the Kiwis’ points tally even if they win. If the New Zealand vs England match is abandoned due to rain, Pakistan will also be out – even if they win against Sri Lanka in their last match.
