New Delhi. The Pakistan team, which has lost two consecutive matches in the T20 World Cup 2024, is coming back on the field on June 9. The match against Canada is a do or die situation for Pakistan. Pakistan will have to win this match at all costs to stay in the World Cup. If Pakistan loses, the doors of Super-8 will be closed for them. Not only this, it is raining almost every day in New York. If it rains and the match is also cancelled, then Pakistan's journey will end in the group round itself.
On Tuesday, a match will be played between Pakistan and Canada at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The pitch here has proved to be a graveyard for batsmen. However, Canada can be proud of the fact that it has the highest score in the 5 matches played here so far. It had scored 137 runs against Ireland, which is the highest score in T20 World Cup on this ground. The average score of the first innings on this pitch of New York is 106 and the average score of the second innings is only 104.

It can be guessed from the average score of the pitch that the match between Pakistan and Canada will not see a big score. Pakistan's team has lost 2 out of its 4 matches so far. Apart from India, it has also faced defeat against America. Canadian fans will also hope that their team will create another upset by defeating Pakistan. Canada's team has already defeated Ireland. Therefore, its morale will remain high.
Pakistan is in Group A of the current T20 World Cup. Teams from India, USA, Canada and Ireland are also in this group. All the teams have played two matches each. India, USA and Canada are in the first three positions in the points table. After this, Pakistan is in fourth and Ireland is in fifth position. The top-2 teams from the group will enter the Super-8. Currently, India and USA are ahead in this race.
If Pakistan wins then its account will open in the point table
Today, i.e. on Tuesday, the third match will be played between Pakistan and Canada. If Pakistan wins this match, it will get 2 points in the point table and it will remain in the race for Super-8. If Pakistan loses or the match is cancelled, it will remain in the fourth place in the point table. After this, even if it wins its fourth match, it will not be able to come in the top-2.
Victory will open the door to Super-8
For Pakistan, the road to Super-8 is only through victory. To enter Super-8, it will first have to defeat Canada and Ireland. It will also have to pray that America loses both its matches. But there is a catch here too. If any match of America gets cancelled due to rain, then the door to Super-8 will be closed for Pakistan.
