Pakistan's Qualification Scenario: Just when we thought that the T20 World Cup 2024 was not serving up interesting matches, the hosts USA pulled off what could be one of the biggest upsets in the history of the tournament as they handed Pakistan a humiliating defeat in the 12th game of the tournament that went all the way to a Super Over. With still a long tournament to go, the question arises, will this defeat mean an irreparable damage for the Babar Azam-led team?


Men in Green lost their T20 World Cup 2024 opening game to USA in a Super Over. Chasing 19 runs, Pakistan managed only 13, losing by 5 runs. This victory has kept the USA unbeaten in their first two matches. Meanwhile, India triumphed in their opener against Ireland. As Pakistan's path to qualification becomes more complicated, let's take a closer look at their chances of reaching the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup 2024.

How Can Pakistan Qualify For Super 8s Of T20 World Cup 2024?


Pakistan’s surprising loss to USA has put the Babar Azam-led side in a difficult position, as they now face a tricky situation.. Currently placed third in the Group A points table, with USA and India remaining unbeaten so far, Pakistan's path to the knockouts is challenging but still possible.


For Pakistan to qualify for the Super 8s stage, their best-case scenario would be to secure a win against arch-rivals India on June 9. If Pakistan lose to India, they will need USA to lose their remaining two matches against Ireland and India, while Pakistan must win both of their final two matches after the India vs Pakistan match. A loss against India could severely damage Pakistan's chances as USA are on a roll and it is likely that they can pull off a win against Ireland, at least.


Babar Azam's team will face arch-rivals India in their second match of the T20 World Cup 2024. This highly anticipated clash will take place at the Nassau County Stadium in New York on June 9 (Sunday).
