New Zealand is at the second place with 2 points after defeating the host Pakistan.
Bangladesh has played one match so far in which it was defeated by India. It is at the third place on the points table.
Defending champions and hosts Pakistan are at the bottom of the points table after losing two consecutive matches
It should be noted that the top two teams in the group have to qualify for the semi-finals. India has to play its last match against New Zealand, while Pakistan will play its last match against Bangladesh.
New Zealand and Bangladesh will face each other today.
How can Pakistan still make it to the semi-finals?
After two consecutive defeats against New Zealand and India, Pakistan’s hopes of reaching the semi-finals now rest on the technical possibility of if-or-but.
However, for this, it will have to depend on the results of the remaining matches.
Pakistan now has to win its next match against Bangladesh on February 27 in Rawalpindi by a large margin.
Along with this, New Zealand has to lose both its matches by a huge margin, only then can the Pakistani team get a chance to advance in the tournament. Which seems very difficult.
