New Delhi: With the defeat by 2 wickets in the Super-8 against England, the path to the semi-finals has now become difficult for Pakistan. This was Pakistan’s second match in Super-8. Pakistan’s first match with New Zealand was washed out due to rain. Pakistan currently has one point and its last match in Super-8 is with Sri Lanka. In such a situation, it is difficult for Pakistan to reach the semi-finals, but due to the wins and losses of other teams, some equations are being created due to which its hopes are still intact.

What is the equation for Pakistan for the semi-finals?

Pakistan cricket team is on the verge of being out of ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The England team has booked its seat in the semi-finals from Group-2 of Super-8. Who will be the second team from this group has to be decided among Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. In such a situation, let us know what is the whole equation.

First equation for Pakistan

Pakistan has to play its last match in Super-8 with Sri Lanka. In this match, Pakistan will have to defeat Sri Lanka by a bigger margin at any cost so that their net run rate can improve.

Second equation for Pakistan

Along with their win over Sri Lanka, Pakistan will have to pray that New Zealand loses at least one of its remaining two matches. New Zealand still has to face Sri Lanka and England. If New Zealand wins both the matches, Pakistan will be out. Because it will get four points and Pakistan will remain at 3 points.

Third equation for Pakistan

The third equation for Pakistan is that if the New Zealand team beats Sri Lanka, but loses to England, then both Pakistan and New Zealand will have 3 points each. In such a situation the matter will be stuck on net run rate. Whichever team is better in run rate will reach the semi-finals with three points.

Fourth equation for Pakistan

The fourth equation being formed for Pakistan is that if Sri Lanka beats New Zealand in its next match, then Sri Lanka’s hopes will come alive. In such a situation, Pakistan will have to defeat Sri Lanka at any cost so that the host is directly out of the race for the semi-finals.
