Pakistan’s T20 World Cup hopes are hanging by a thread as they face a critical match against Canada today at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
Pakistan must win its remaining high-stakes group matches to remain in the tournament. Its continuation also depends on the United States losing its games against India and Ireland.
Pakistan will be eliminated in the first round if the US secures even a single point.
The stakes are so high for the Green Shirts that any match disrupted by rain could end their campaign, as the US needs just one point to advance.
Pakistan’s earlier World Cup efforts saw them losing to the US and India.
Their opener against the US ended in a Super Over loss after a poor performance. Against India, they fell short of a 120-run target, losing by six runs.
At 7:30 PM PST, Pakistan will face Canada, who recently secured a 12-run victory over Ireland.
Pakistan must win and boost its run rate to win the Super 8 round.
If the US loses to India and Ireland, Pakistan’s match against Ireland on June 16 will become pivotal.
