Pakistan can still qualify for the semi-finals of the T20 world cup 2022 but they have to do a lot of hard work and pray for other results to go their way. After India vs South Africa match which was very very important for Pakistan in terms of their qualification to the semi-finals of the tournament, they defiantly wanted India to win against South Africa so they would have their luck in their hands but it didn’t happen which have made qualification for Pakistan hard but not impossible.
Here is the way to qualification to the semi-finals of the tournament for Pakistan
Crunntely Pakistan has played 3 matches and won 1 match so they have 2 points. The first criterion for Pakistan is to win all of their remaining matches which will take their points tally from 2 to 6 points. If Pakistan loses any match from their reaming to matches they will be fully out of the tournament.
In terms of South Africa’s perspective, South Africa has 5 points from 3 matches one match is against Pakistan and one is against the Netherlands. If they lose both of their matches Pakistan will qualify.
How can India Help?
In terms of India’s perspective, India has 4 points from 3 matches and If India loses to Bangladesh and wins against zimbabwe then Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh will have 6 points each and the one with the most run rate will qualify for the semi-finals. If India loses both matches then India will be out of the tournament and both Pakistan and Bangladesh will have 6 points but If Zimbabwe won their match against India and Netherlands then Zimbabwe will have 7 points and they will qualify with South Africa.
From Zimbabwe’s perspective, if India loses to Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe loses to the Netherlands, Pakistan can qualify with 6 points. If Bangladesh beats India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh both will have 6 points. If India defeats Bangladesh, India will secure a semi-final spot with 6 points, and the position will be determined based on the net run rate.
In terms of Bangladesh’s perspective If Bangladesh wins against India then both Pakistan and Bangladesh will have 6 points and if India won against Zimbabwe then India will also have 6 points then the semi-final spot will be decided based on the run rate.
5 out of 6 teams from the group have the chance to make it to the semi-finals. Pakistan still has a very good chance to make it to the semi-finals.
