The situation in which Pakistan stood was that even if they were able to secure a win against Ireland the total tally of their points would have reached only 4 points. It was essential for Pakistan that the match between the USA and Ireland took place with the Irish clenching the victory. This would have given Pakistan the opportunity to gain a victory over the Irish and make their way to the next round.

Unfortunately, the weather was not on their side and Babar Azam’s team was removed from the tournament. India is continuing its lead with Six points from three games with an assured Super 8 spot in the T20 World Cup series.
