T20 World Cup Semi final Qualificatio
Pakistan is on 5th in Group 2.jpeg)
SYDNEY: India’s victory over Bangladesh in ICC T20 World Cup on Wednesday has further diminished Pakistan’s hopes to qualify for the semi-finals of the tournament.
Following the win, India has six points from four games and they’re followed by South Africa with five points from three games. Pakistan is placed fifth in Group 2 with just two points from three games.
Pakistan next plays South Africa on Thursday before taking on Bangladesh in their last game on Sunday, while the Proteas are also scheduled to play against the Netherlands and India will face Zimbabwe in their last match.
As South Africa and India — who both are ahead of Pakistan in points table — are to play against lower ranked sides in their last games it is highly unlikely for Pakistan to sail through.
In such a scenario, Pakistan winning both games won’t be enough and they’ll have to hope for at least one upset defeat in the last round, either to South Africa or India.
To stay in alive, the first and foremost task for Pakistan is to win against South Africa on Thursday and then beat Bangladesh on Sunday
If Pakistan wins both the games and India is upset by Zimbabwe then Pakistan and India will tie on points table with six points each. Pakistan already has a better NRR than India at this stage as they’ve +0.765 compare to India’s +0.730.
Pakistan can also qualify if they win their both games and the match between South Africa and the Netherlands is washed out.
The washout would restrict South Africa to 6 points but it will have fewer wins than Pakistan.
According to clause 16.10.2(b) of playing conditions, if two or more teams have equal points then team with greater number of wins will qualify for the semi-final. A washout between the Netherlands and South Africa would mean two wins and two wash-outs for SA while Pak would have three wins, if they win both games.
Though, there is no forecast of rain on Sunday in Adelaide.
It is worth mentioning that Pakistan’s quest to remain in contention will stay alive only if they beat South Africa in Sydney on Thursday, otherwise they will be knocked out.
