After defeating Canada, Pakistani captain Babar Azam said, 'We needed this victory. We started well in bowling. When we were batting, we also had the net run rate in mind, but it was difficult due to the bad pitch.' Pakistan had restricted Canada to 106 runs in the match played on Tuesday. After this, it won the match in the 18th over.

Pakistan had to achieve this target in 19.1 overs to make its net run rate positive. Apart from this, to have a better net run rate than America (0.626), it needed to win in 13.5 overs. Pakistan won in 17.3 overs. This improved its net run rate from -0.150 to 0.191, but it is not better than America.
If Pakistan wins its last match in the Super-8 and America loses both its matches, then both teams will have equal 4-4 points. After this, only the team with a better net run rate will go to the Super-8. This is the reason why Babar Azam is not completely happy after Pakistan's victory. He knows that Pakistan will not only have to win its last match, but the margin of victory should also be big.
