England Qualify for T20 World Cup 2026 Semifinals; Pakistan's Fate Hinges on Final Matches

England secured their place in the T20 World Cup 2026 semifinals after a narrow two-wicket win over Pakistan in the Super 8 stage. Pakistan, with one point and a negative net run rate, must defeat Sri Lanka in their final match and rely on favorable results, including New Zealand losing matches or England winning convincingly, to advance. New Zealand's recent win over Sri Lanka boosted their net run rate, making Pakistan's qualification dependent on a significant victory margin and other match outcomes in Group 2.
