Pakistani team again got defeated by India in T20 World Cup… If they lose the last match then they are out of the tournament.
New Delhi. After winning two consecutive matches in the group phase of T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan team was facing India in its third match. A blockbuster match was expected between India and Pakistan on Sunday 14 February at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. However, Pakistan team got frustrated in this match. Pakistan was badly defeated by the Indian team. Due to this defeat, Pakistan team is in danger of being out of the tournament.
Actually, Pakistan team is in Group A in T20 World Cup 2026. Apart from Pakistan, there are four more teams in the group. Only two out of five teams will qualify for Super 8. The Indian team has qualified for the next phase. Apart from this, one team has been eliminated from this group. In such a situation, there is going to be a fight for one position between the three teams and if the Pakistan team loses in this battle, then it will be out of the T20 World Cup.
At present, the Indian team is on top in Group A after winning 3 matches and has reached Super 8. At second place in the group is the USA team, which has won two out of 4 matches and lost two matches. All league matches of USA have ended. However, USA has a better net run rate than Pakistan, as Pakistan is in third place with 4 points after 3 matches. USA’s net run rate is in plus, while Pakistan’s net run rate is in minus.
Netherlands is at fourth position after winning one out of 3 matches and Namibia team has lost 3 matches and is at the last position, which has been eliminated. However, USA, Pakistan and Netherlands are in the race to go to Super 8 from this group. Now the scenario says that if Pakistan team loses to Namibia in its last match then Pakistan team will be out of the tournament, because USA has better net run rate.
Somewhat true, but Netherlands also have hopes of going to Super 8. However, for this they will first have to defeat India by a big margin and hope that Pakistan team gets defeated by Namibia. Apart from this, their net run rate should improve so much that they leave USA’s net run rate behind, because USA has four points and all their matches have been played. If Pakistan team beats Namibia even by one run, it will qualify for Super 8 with 6 points.
