After losing the first match to New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy, Pakistan’s journey has become a game of “ifs and buts.”
Yesterday, New Zealand defeated Pakistan by a significant margin, securing their first win in the Champions Trophy. Despite this loss, Pakistan’s team can still qualify for the semi-finals.
If Pakistan wins both of its upcoming matches against India and Bangladesh, and New Zealand defeats India, only then will Pakistan’s path to the semi-finals clear. However, Pakistan will need to deliver an extraordinary performance to make a comeback.
It is worth remembering that the event’s biggest clash, Pakistan vs India, will occur on February 23 in Dubai. Eight top teams from Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Dubai will compete for the championship.
