Overview

• A six-wicket defeat to India on September 21 left Pakistan bottom of the Super Four with 0 points and a net run rate of -0.689.
• Pakistan’s remaining fixtures are Sri Lanka on September 23 in Abu Dhabi and Bangladesh on September 25 in Dubai.
• Victories in both games would take Pakistan to four points, with qualification likely but still dependent on net run rate.
• Winning only one of the two matches would not suffice and would end Pakistan’s bid for a place in the final.
• Bangladesh’s upset of Sri Lanka and India’s strong NRR (+0.689) tighten the race, making Pakistan’s margins of victory potentially decisive.
