With two defeats in as many games, Pakistan stare at an earlier than expected elimination from the T20 World Cup 2024.

In their opening match, Pakistan were stunned by T20 World Cup co-hosts USA after a thrilling Super Over in Dallas, Texas.

Last week, Pakistan fumbled a golden opportunity as India narrowly edged them out in a low-scoring thriller in New York.

Pakistan will now have to win all of their remaining group matches in order to have any hopes of qualifying for the next round.

Pakistan, who are 4th in Group A, must beat Canada and then Ireland, while also flipping around their -0.150 net run rate in the process.

The Babar Azam-led side should defeat Canada and Ireland by big margins so that they can improve their net run rate.

Pakistan have an outside chance of qualifying if India win their remaining games, while the USA don't.

They will face Canada in New York on June 11, while their final group match against Ireland will be held in Florida on June 16.
