Lahore (Sports Desk): Pakistan’s journey to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finals in the Super 8 stage has become challenging but not impossible. After a crucial defeat against England, the national team’s position weakened, making Pakistan’s semi-final hopes dependent not only on their own victories but also on other teams’ results.
Following two consecutive losses, Sri Lanka has been eliminated from the semi-final race, which further complicates Pakistan’s path. New Zealand will play its final group match against England on Friday, while Pakistan faces Sri Lanka on Saturday.
If Pakistan defeats Sri Lanka, New Zealand’s net run rate will rise to +3.05, while Pakistan’s stands at -0.46, making the national team’s route to the semi-finals challenging but still within reach.
