50-50 qualification ratio for Pakistan ahead of the final match of the Super 8 of T20 World Cup 2026. Amidst the uncertainties regarding the team’s title contest, Mohammad Amir made some important comments during a live TV show.
England’s win over New Zealand has made the scenario in Group 2 more interesting than ever. Tournament co-host Sri Lanka, already eliminated from the T20 World Cup 2026, will take on Pakistan on February 28 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Balagolla.
Points Table Scenario in Group 2 of T20 World Cup 2026
If the team led by Salman Ali Aga wants to continue the race for the T20 World Cup title, then they will have to defeat Sri Lanka in today’s match. They will have to ensure victory by a big margin. Because net run rate can prove to be important to find out the top 2 teams from Group 2.
At present, England is the only team from Group 2 which has confirmed its place in the semi-finals. The Three Lions confirmed three consecutive wins at this stage of the tournament. After 27th Februaryth match, New Zealand are currently second behind England with 3 points from three matches with one win and one draw and their net run rate is +1.390.
Pakistan, which has played 2 matches so far, has only 1 point, because one of its matches was canceled due to rain. If the team manages to defeat Sri Lanka in Balagola, the team’s total points will become 3, which is equal to New Zealand’s total points. If both teams finish their Super 8 stage with the same number of points, net run rate will come into the equation.

While New Zealand’s net run rate is +1.390, Pakistan’s is -0.461. To progress in the tournament, they will have to win against Sri Lanka by a big margin so that their net run rate can surpass New Zealand’s net run rate.
