India qualify for Super 8, Pakistan in do-or-die situation:Australia to face Sri Lanka in virtual knockout tie, qualification scenarios explained

In the T20 World Cup on Sunday, India defeated Pakistan in the group stage match to enter Super-8. Now Pakistan must win their last match against Namibia to qualify. If the team loses, America will reach Super-8 along with India from Group-A, and Pakistan’s journey will end. In the tournament today, the match between Sri Lanka and Australia will be played from 7 PM. If the Kangaroo team loses here, it will be difficult for them to reach Super-8, because the team has already lost one match against Zimbabwe. Group-A: Pakistan need to beat Namibia for qualification Two matches were played in Group-A on Sunday. America defeated Namibia by 31 runs. Meanwhile, India defeated Pakistan by 61 runs. Team India is at the top with 6 points and has also entered Super-8. America reached number 2 with 4 points, and all their matches are over. Pakistan also has only 4 points, but due to poor run rate the team is at third position. Their last match is against Namibia, who have already been eliminated after losing all three matches. However, if Namibia defeats Pakistan, they will knock out the 2009 champions at the group stage itself. Group-B: AUS’ do-or-die clash against SL today Group-B’s situation is currently the most interesting. 2021 champion Australia lost to Zimbabwe. This defeat disrupted the team’s equation. Now they must defeat Sri Lanka today to secure their place in Super-8. If the home team wins, their qualification will be confirmed. On the other hand, after beating Sri Lanka, Australia will also need to defeat Oman. If the team loses even one match, Zimbabwe can qualify by winning just one of their last 2 matches. Sri Lanka also needs just one win for qualification. Oman has been eliminated, while Ireland has a very poor run rate after 2 losses. Therefore, their qualification is also difficult. Group C: West Indies qualify, Nepal knocked out On Sunday, in the Group-C match, West Indies defeated Nepal by 9 wickets. With this result, West Indies advanced to the Super-8, while Nepal was eliminated. Now England, Scotland, and Italy’s teams are in the race. England will face Italy today, and if the team wins, they will advance to the next round. If Italy wins, it will become difficult for England to qualify. Italy has 1 win and 1 loss. While Scotland won one match, the team has lost 2 matches. England’s only loss came against West Indies. Scotland’s last match will be against Nepal, and winning it will make it difficult for the team to qualify. However, if England loses, both Italy and Scotland’s hopes will increase. Group-D: AFG dependen on SA, UAE, NZ CAN This was the tournament’s toughest group. It included 2024 finalist South Africa, 2021 runner-up New Zealand, and 2024 semifinalist Afghanistan teams. Afghanistan lost both their matches against the Kiwis and Proteas teams. Now to qualify, they not only need to win their last two matches but also pray for New Zealand’s defeat. South Africa with 6 points from 3 wins has almost secured a place in the next round. The team can finish at number 1 in the group stage by defeating UAE in their last match. New Zealand has also won 2 matches, and the team will reach Super-8 by winning their last match against Canada. UAE has one win, but they have 2 matches against Afghanistan and South Africa. If the team wins both, they will advance to the next round. Meanwhile, Afghanistan and Canada will be eliminated if they lose even one match.
