T20 World Cup 2024: The T20 World Cup is to be played today (9 June) between the most important and popular teams. There will be a great match between India and Pakistan at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. In such a situation, cricket fans of both the countries will keep an eye on this match. Meanwhile, let's take a look at the equations of the T20 World Cup points table…

Pakistan had a bad start

On June 6, the Pakistani team faced the American team in Dallas, where Pakistan had to face a humiliating defeat in the super over. On the other hand, the Indian team defeated Ireland by 8 wickets in the opening match. In such a situation, India has made a great start to the tournament, while Pakistan's start has been very bad.

Now the question is what are the chances of Pakistan reaching the Super 8 round. As per the current points table, Team USA is at the top of the group with 4 points with two wins in two matches and a net run rate (NRR) of +0.626. Next is the Indian team. India has played 1 match so far and has 2 points and a net run rate of +3.065. Next is Canada, which has won one of its two matches with a net run rate of -0.274. Then there are Pakistan and Ireland. Pakistan has lost one match while Ireland has lost both the matches.

Let us try to understand these points according to the table. America has to play two matches against India and Ireland. If they lose to India and defeat Ireland, then Pakistan is sure to be out of the Super 8. Also, America will reach the Super 8. On the other hand, even if India defeats Pakistan, Pakistan is almost sure to be out. But India will have to win the next matches. Even if Pakistan wins all its remaining matches, it can still miss the Super 8.

What will happen if Pakistan defeats India?

By winning the remaining matches, India will reach 6 points. If America wins one more match, it will also have 6 points. In such a situation, Pakistan, India and America can finish the group round with six points, after which the equation will come down to net run rate.

At present, Pakistan's net run rate is worse than both America and India. In such a situation, Pakistan will try to win all the matches. If Pakistan loses to India, then America will have to lose both its remaining matches to hope to reach the next round. Apart from this, Canada also has a good chance of reaching the Super 8 round. Since their net run rate is currently negative, they will have to win all the matches. The top 2 teams of the group will be in the Super 8 round.
