Pakistan is all set to face Canada in their third match of the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup 2024 after two embarrassing defeats from the USA and India. This match will be played on June 11 at Nassau County Cricket Stadium.
Teams Overview:
Pakistan has suffered two embarrassing defeats in ongoing events, and now it is almost impossible for them to qualify for the Super 8 stage. In the first game, Pakistan lost five runs to the USA in a nail-biting match. In the second game, Pakistan handed over the match to India and lost by 6 runs.
Pakistan’s chances of qualifying for the Super Eight stage depend on the USA’s matches against India and Ireland. Pakistan has to win the remaining two games against Canada and Ireland, and the USA would have to lose to India and Ireland, so there is a chance for Pakistan to qualify for the Super Eight based on the Net Run Rate.
On the other hand, Canada has also lost its two games, against the USA and Ireland. It will also try to win against Pakistan to remain in the T20 World Cup.
