By Samira Vishwas

SL vs NZ: After the defeat in Super-8 against New Zealand, the host Sri Lankan team is out of T20 World Cup 2026. Sri Lanka had to face defeat in the first two matches of Super-8, after which Sri Lanka is out of the tournament. Sri Lanka had to face defeat against England in the first match of Super-8. Now in the second match New Zealand defeated by 61 runs. With this victory of New Zealand, now Pakistan is also in danger of being out of the tournament.

England has already reached the semi-finals

The England team has already qualified for the semi-finals with 4 points by winning 2 matches from Super-8 Group-1 of T20 World Cup 2026. Now New Zealand can become the second team from this group to reach the semi-finals, because New Zealand has 3 points in 2 matches.

New Zealand is a strong contender to reach the semi-finals

The match between New Zealand and Pakistan was canceled due to rain, due to which both the teams got 1 point each. Today, New Zealand achieved 2 points by defeating Sri Lanka. In this situation, New Zealand now has 3 points. Pakistan got one point after the match was canceled due to rain. Whereas Pakistan had to face defeat against England in the second match.

Pakistan needs prayers along with victory

Pakistan currently has only one point and one match left. New Zealand has strengthened its net run rate significantly by defeating Sri Lanka by 61 runs. New Zealand’s net run rateIs 3.050. New Zealand also has one match left. In such a situation, if Pakistan wants to make it to the semi-finals, it will have to win its last match with a good net run rate. Along with this, we also have to pray that England beats New Zealand in the last match, but if New Zealand wins its last match, then Pakistan will be out.

Even if New Zealand loses its last match and Pakistan wins its last match, then the decision will be taken on the basis of net runs. In such a situation, Pakistan will have to pray for New Zealand’s defeat and also win with good net runs. Pakistan’s net run rate is -0.461. This will be very difficult for Pakistan.
