Pakistan’s path to the semifinals of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is now clear after England’s four-wicket win over New Zealand in Colombo.
England topped Group 2 with six points, while New Zealand sit second with three points and a healthy net run rate. Pakistan, currently third with one point and an NRR of -0.461, must beat Sri Lanka by 64 runs if batting first or chase the target within 13.1 overs to qualify.
The crucial clash at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium will decide whether Pakistan advance or New Zealand progress to the semifinals.
