T20 World Cup 2024: Pakistan eye big win against Canada to stay alive

Published by

Today, Pakistan will face Canada in their third must-win T20 World Cup 2024 match at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

The Green Shirts’ hopes to stay in the mega tournament are hanging by a thread as they must win their next two group matches.

Pakistan’s performance in the event thus far has been dismal. After a heartbreaking Super Over loss to the United States, they struggled against India, failing to chase a modest 120-run goal.

Their next opponent is Canada, who recently defeated Ireland after a high-scoring loss to the United States. Pakistan must overcome Canada and Ireland in their last group match to keep their World Cup aspirations alive.

They also need to enhance their run rate. However, their fate is not entirely in their hands. They need a stroke of luck since the United States must lose its final matches against India and Ireland.

Pakistan’s chances are so slim that any match washed out by rain will seal Pakistan’s elimination from the World Cup. They will have to pray for favorable outcomes in the US games as they need only one point to nudge Pakistan out of the World Cup.

Should the US lose to both India and Ireland, the Pakistan-Ireland clash on June 16 will be crucial.
