In a significant turn of events in the T20 World Cup 2026, England secured their place in the semi-finals after defeating Pakistan by two wickets in a tense Super Eight match on February 24, 2026. England's captain, Harry Brook, was the standout performer, scoring a remarkable 100 runs off just 51 balls. This victory not only marked England's second win in the Super Eights but also confirmed their advancement to the final four. Meanwhile, Pakistan's chances of qualification have become increasingly slim after their loss to England, as they now sit third in Group 2 with only one point from two matches, including a washed-out game against New Zealand. Shaheen Shah Afridi expressed the team's grim outlook, stating, "We know our fate is not in our hands... But we need to beat Sri Lanka in our last match on Saturday and then hope other results go our way."
