ICC World T20 - Pak can still Qualify if INDIA helps
Pakistan's "Qudrat ka Nizam" hasn't quite come through in the t20 world cup 2024. The team captained by Babar Azam is in danger of being eliminated after suffering back-to-back defeats in their Group A campaign. pakistan was defeated by india in a low-scoring thriller in New York following a shocking loss to co-hosts USA, and they are now officially out of the running for the championship.
Pakistan is presently in fourth position in Group A of the t20 world cup 2024, after the united states, canada, and India. pakistan has two games left in the campaign, one each against canada and ireland, both of which they must win to advance. They also pray that the rain doesn't wash away any of their matches. Unfortunately for pakistan, they have to depend on india to qualify for the Super 8 stage of the tournament. Here's how.
PAKISTAN'S qualification SCENARIO
2 teams from each group qualify for the Super 8 stage of the t20 World Cup. pakistan has 0 points from 2 matches, while both india and USA have 4. pakistan competes with these two teams for the Super 8 spots.
Pakistan's Remaining Matches
vs canada in Nassau County Stadium, New York
vs ireland in Central Broward Park, Florida
Pakistan will have to invariably win their last two matches of the tournament. They have an NRR of -0.15 at the moment and will have a lot of catching up to do against the USA and india, both of whom have a healthy NRR after 2 matches.

Pakistan will be hoping hard that india destroys the USA in their tournament Group A match. A significant loss against india would significantly reduce the United States' net run rate. pakistan would prefer that the united states loses its last group stage match against Ireland. In this scenario, pakistan would qualify based on their NRR and the USA would be tied at four points.
The Nassau County Stadium, a horrible trap for hitters, will host india against USA. It seems improbable that the USA would have a significant NRR decline in the match vs India. In terms of qualifying for the Super 8 phases, Pakistan's chances might become increasingly remote. pakistan might just make it to the Super 8 round, but if they don't, they will only be responsible for their own actions.
