Pakistan's T20 World Cup Semi-Final Hopes Depend on England vs New Zealand Result

Pakistan's chances of reaching the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finals hinge on the outcome of the England vs New Zealand Super 8 match. England have already qualified, while New Zealand lead Pakistan in points and net run rate (NRR). Pakistan must rely on an England victory over New Zealand to stay in contention and then secure a commanding win against Sri Lanka to surpass New Zealand's superior NRR. A washout or New Zealand win would eliminate Pakistan before their final game.
