The United States pulled off the biggest upset of the T20 World Cup 2024 on Thursday by outperforming Pakistan. America, making its World Cup debut, made history by defeating Pakistan in the Super Over. Following this defeat, Pakistan's journey to the Super 8 has grown more tough. If Pakistan loses its match against India on Sunday, it will be almost eliminated from the competition.

Aside from Pakistan, India, and America, Canada and Ireland are also in Group A of the 2024 T20 World Cup. India overcame Ireland and is now in second place, with two points and a +3.065 net run rate. America has defeated both Canada and Pakistan. It is in first place with four points and a +0.626 net run rate.

America now has to play matches against India and Ireland. In such a situation, if Pakistan loses to India, then America will have to win just one more match and it will secure a place in Super 8. Even if America loses to India in the match to be held on June 12, it will still have a chance to reach Super-8. Provided it defeats Ireland by a big margin in its last league stage match to be held on June 14 and hopes that Pakistan loses to India in its next match or Pakistan does not register a big win in any of its remaining matches.

If Pakistan wins against India, then America will have to win one of the next two matches by a big margin. So that their net run rate is better than Pakistan and India. But if Pakistan loses to India, it will have zero points in two matches and its net run rate will be affected. In such a situation, Pakistan will have to win against Canada and Ireland at any cost. Despite this, Pakistan will have only four points. In such a situation, they will have to depend on the remaining two matches against America.
