Following England's thrilling victory over Pakistan in the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup 2026, the situation for Pakistan has become increasingly dire. After their defeat, which left them with only 1 point from two matches, Pakistan's chances of reaching the semi-finals hinge on their upcoming match against Sri Lanka on February 28. They must win that match by a significant margin to improve their run rate, currently at -0.461, and also need New Zealand to lose their match against England. As reported by Independent Urdu, 'If Pakistan loses against Sri Lanka, they will be out of the semi-final race.' This places immense pressure on the team, as they require favorable outcomes in other matches alongside their own victory to keep their hopes alive.
