The Babar Azam-led Pakistan team is in bad shape in the T20 World Cup 2024. Pakistan, which lost both its opening matches in Group A, is in danger of being eliminated from the tournament. First, the USA made a big upset, then it lost to India in the second match. For this reason, today on June 11, Pakistan has a do-or-die match against Canada. If the Pak team loses today's match, it will officially be out of the tournament. Let's know what Pakistan has to do if it wants to reach the Super-8?
Pakistan will now have to win big against Canada and Ireland in the remaining two matches to qualify for the Super-8. Along with this, it will have to pray that the USA loses badly in both its matches against India and Ireland. In this situation, both teams will have 4-4 points, and then the decision will be made on the basis of a better net run rate.
America's net run rate is currently +0.626, based on two wins. In such a situation, if he can defeat Ireland as well, he will easily advance to the Super-8. At the same time, Pakistan's net run rate is -0.150, which is extremely low. In such a case, the remaining two matches must not only be won but by a significant margin.
After losing the captaincy following the ODI World Cup, questions have been raised about Babar Azam's leadership as the Pakistan team prepares for the T20 World Cup 2024. It is claimed that the Pakistani team is not playing cohesively. That is why it is consistently defeated. Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi is also constantly raising questions about the leadership of Babar Azam.
