NEW YORK: After losing to USA and India, Pakistan will face a do-or-die situation in the T20 World Cup 2024 when they will play against Canada in a Group A match at New York’s Nassau County International Stadium today.
In the 22nd match of the T20 World Cup, hosted by the USA and West Indies and organized by the ICC, Pakistan and Canada will face off at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The match is set to begin at 7:30 PM Pakistan time.
Following defeats to both the USA and India, Pakistan’s chances of reaching the Super Eight stage seem slim. With two losses already, Pakistan need to win their remaining two matches, while the USA must lose both of their upcoming matches which will clear path for Pakistan to qualify for next stage.
Pakistan’s next opponents are Canada and Ireland, while the USA will compete against India and Ireland. Should the USA win just one more match, they will secure a spot in the Super Eight. The match against Ireland will be crucial for Pakistan’s hopes.
Pakistani fans are deeply disappointed after the team’s heavy defeat to India. They criticized the performance, particularly of top batsmen Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, who failed to deliver when it mattered most. Fans remarked that Babar Azam, despite being the captain, struggled to score against India, appearing overwhelmed by the pressure.
After the loss, Babar Azam commented that the pitch played well initially, and the team managed a solid performance in the first 10 overs. However, he admitted that the batting faltered in the remaining 10 overs, with several balls not connecting as expected.
