Pakistan was out of the World Cup even after winning against Sri Lanka, made the way for New Zealand easier…

There was a clash between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the 50th match of T20 World Cup 2026. Pakistan batted first and scored 212 runs, but despite this the team failed to reach the semi-finals. Sri Lanka made the path to the semi-finals easy for New Zealand by scoring 147 runs. Now New Zealand and England have made their place in the semi-finals from the second group.

Let us tell you, New Zealand has 3 points and due to better run rate, the Kiwi team was successful in reaching the semi-finals. To have a better run rate than New Zealand, Pakistan had to restrict Sri Lanka to less than 147 runs and they had to win by at least 64 runs, but Pakistan failed to achieve this target.

The first match between Pakistan and New Zealand in Super-8 was canceled due to rain, leaving both the teams with 1-1 point. After this, England defeated Pakistan, while New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka by 61 runs to get 2 points. New Zealand had to face defeat from England in the final match of Super-8.
