Can Pakistan make it to the Super 4 in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022?
The top two spots in the ICC Men’s T20 Worldcup 2022 points table are up for grabs among all sides. Let’s look at Pakistan’s group to see if they can make it.
With four points, India sits at the top of the standings. They won their opening two games and are most likely to qualify to the Super 4.
In addition, Zimbabwe has a chance to qualify for the semi finals after a historic victory over Pakistan. Due to the rain-affected encounter that South Africa and Zimbabwe played against one other, they are both just one point behind from India.
Due to South Africa’s strong net RR, which is +5.200 following their victory against Bangladesh, they have a little advantage over Zimbabwe.
Pakistan has played two games and has lost both of them in the final over. To remain in the tournament, they must perform spectacularly in their forthcoming encounter. Due to their reliance on other teams and limited number of matches to win, they have little chance of making it to the semifinals.
They must win in all three games. The Netherlands will be their opponent on Sunday, and matches against South Africa and Bangladesh are slated for November 3rd and November 6th, respectively.
Pakistan’s fate will be in the hands of India and Bangladesh if Pakistan win all three games. On Sunday, October 30, Bangladesh will play Zimbabwe, while India will play South Africa.
If India and Bangladesh manage to win their Sunday matches against South Africa and Bangladesh respectively, and Pakistan wins against the Netherlands, then Pakistan is alive in the tournament.But Net RR can also be the key.
Pakistan needs to win at least one game with a big margin for a good net RR. If any of the three countries (Zimbabwe, India, and South Africa) win two of their three matches, they will finish with more than six points and will break Pakistan’s hope.
