After that match, she played the second match against England on 24 February and lost. This defeat only increased the difficulties in his path to the semi-finals. Now the question is, how can the Pakistan team overcome the difficulties faced after the defeat to England and reach the semi-finals?
The first equation for Pakistan to reach the semi-finals
The first equation says that Pakistan should defeat Sri Lanka in its last match of Super-8. But along with that, the match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka should be washed out or New Zealand should win by a small margin so that its run rate remains lower than Pakistan. Apart from this, England should defeat New Zealand in their last Super-8 match. If this happens, England will have 6 points in the points table. Pakistan will have 3 points. If New Zealand wins, it will also have 3 points but its run rate will be less than Pakistan. If Sri Lanka does not win any match then it will automatically be eliminated. In this situation, Pakistan can get a ticket for the semi-finals.
Second equation for Pakistan to reach the semi-finals
But, the second equation says what will happen if Sri Lanka beats New Zealand and New Zealand beats England? In that situation, it would be necessary for Pakistan to win against Sri Lanka but at the same time that victory should be by a big margin. So that the run rate is higher than New Zealand in any way.
