How Can Babar Azam`s Pakistan Qualify For Super 8 Of T20 World Cup 2024 After Defeat vs Team India? In Pics

Pakistan must secure victories in their next two games against Canada and Ireland to stand any chance of qualifying. These wins are non-negotiable for keeping their Super 8 hopes alive.  

Even with two wins, Pakistan's fate is tied to the performance of India and the USA. Both teams, currently with four points, need to lose their remaining matches for Pakistan to advance.  

Pakistan must not only win but also improve their Net Run Rate (NRR). Their NRR should surpass that of India and the USA, adding an extra layer of pressure to perform dominantly in the upcoming matches.  

If Pakistan loses even one of their remaining matches, their qualification hopes are effectively over. They would end with only two points, which isn't enough to proceed given the current standings.  

For Pakistan to qualify, Canada also needs to lose both their remaining matches. Canada's defeats, along with Pakistan's wins, would simplify the qualification path for Pakistan.  

Ireland, currently leading Group A, should not win more than one of their remaining matches. If Ireland wins both, it complicates Pakistan’s chances even further, potentially knocking them out.  

The narrow six-run defeat against India has put Pakistan in a precarious position. A win here could have significantly eased their qualification scenario, highlighting the importance of every match in this tournament.  

Pakistan's journey to the Super 8 is now a complex web of performance and permutations. Every match, every run, and every ball counts as they navigate through these intricate qualification scenarios.

If the USA loses both of their remaining matches, it opens a direct path for Pakistan, provided Pakistan wins their games. This scenario keeps Pakistan's qualification hopes realistic.  

Achieving a significant victory margin in their next games can boost Pakistan's NRR, potentially tipping the scales in their favor if teams are tied on points.
