Pakistan under-19 team faces a crucial, challenging test today in the ICC Under-19 World Cup as they take on New Zealand in the Super Six stage, with semi-final qualification at stake.
The Super Six phase has become extremely important for Pakistan, as the Green Shirts are also scheduled to face arch-rivals India on February 1. To secure a place in the semi-finals, Pakistan must win both Super Six matches and also significantly improve their net run rate.
At the conclusion of the initial round, Pakistan advanced to the Super Six stage with two points from two matches. In contrast, India and England have each secured four points after winning both matches.
Both India and England also have a superior net run rate compared to Pakistan, increasing the pressure on the national side, which now needs convincing victories to remain in contention for the semi-finals.
