CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Babar Azam-led Pakistan will need a big favour from Rohit Sharma’s Team India to stay alive in the T20 World Cup.
After Pakistan’s narrow six-run defeat against India at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York on Sunday, the 2022 runners-up, on the brink of a group-stage exit.
As things stand, Pakistan are currently in fourth place in Group A with two more games in their hands and to qualify for the Super 8 stage, they would not only need to win their remaining two fixtures against Canada and Ireland by a big margin but will also have to hope that India must thump the USA, and then Ireland to beat the co-hosts of the tournament.
India had defeated Ireland by eight wickets in its opening game at the same ground and leads Group A with four points and a better net run rate than the US team, which also has four points from its wins over Canada and Pakistan.
