Table of Contents

Pakistan lost back-to-back matches in the T20 World Cup in 2024. First, in the biggest upsets of the ICC T20 World Cup history, the USA, who were facing Pakistan for the first time in an International contest, defeated the latter in a Super over thriller to register one of the most famous victories in the T20 World Cup. After facing defeat from the host, Pakistan’s second match was against India, and this time, in a low-scoring thriller against the arch-rivals, Pakistan ended up on the losing side again. Now, Pakistan has only two league matches left, which are against Canada and Ireland, and winning both is the only option Pakistan has to remain in the Super 8 hunt, but what if Rain washout their match against Canada?

Pakistan vs Canada: Weather Report

During the Pakistan vs Canada match, there is a 25 percent chance of rain in New York, which will decrease to 11% during the morning. So, there is a possibility of rain showers like last time. But the chances of a washout are low, so the match will likely happen, like their previous match against India.

Pakistan’s Super 8 scenario in a rain abandoned match

If rain washout Pakistan vs Canada match, then both teams will get one point each, so even if Pakistan manages to win their last league stage match against Ireland, they will be on three points, which is less than both India and USA’s current standings as both teams already won two matches to stand on 4 points each. There’s no way Pakistan will qualify for the Super 8 if rain plays a spoilsport in any of their next two league stage matches, but if it doesn’t and Pakistan secures victory in both matches, they will remain in the hunt for Super 8.
