Pakistan's Qualification Chances: The race for the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8s is getting warmed up with key teams still in the fray. So far just three teams have confirmed a place for themselves in the Super 8s of the tournament while only two teams have been eliminated. Among all the four groups, a major interest of the fans lies in the qualification scenarios of Group A, which features the likes of India, Pakistan, USA, Ireland and Canada.



Notably, Rohit Sharma-led Team India made it to the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 with their 7-wicket win over the USA at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York. With one slot in the group still up for grabs, Pakistan and USA emerge as the biggest contenders.



Interestingly, the fight which was earlier thought to be in the net run rates, has now made it completely irrelevant in Group A. Pakistan (+0.191) has sneaked above the USA (+0.127) in the net run rate and the actual battle will be on the points now.



As per the latest standings in Group A of the T20 World Cup 2024, India stands tall atop the chart followed by the USA and Pakistan. The US is placed second with two wins and a solitary loss in the three games, while, Pakistan has two losses and a solitary win so far in the three matches.



Below is the complete Group A Points Table T20 World Cup 2024:



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><thead><tr><th>POS</th><th>TEAMS</th><th>P</th><th>W</th><th>L</th><th>D</th><th>PTS</th><th>NRR</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>India (Q)</td><td>3</td><td>3</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>6</td><td>1.137</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>United States of America</td><td>3</td><td>2</td><td>1</td><td>0</td><td>4</td><td>0.127</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>Pakistan</td><td>3</td><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>0</td><td>2</td><td>0.191</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Canada</td><td>3</td><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>0</td><td>2</td><td>-0.493</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Ireland</td><td>2</td><td>0</td><td>2</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>-1.712</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">*Group A Points table.</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Pakistan can Qualify for Super 8 T20 World Cup 2024?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/06/usa-2.jpg" alt="Pakistan Remain in T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 Qualification Race, Here is how Pakistan can qualify for Super 8 T20 World Cup after India defeated USA" class="wp-image-135175" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">USA defeated Pakistan (Associate Press)</figcaption></figure>



The prospects don't appear to be bright for Pakistan as far as their Super 8 place is concerned. With two losses upfront, they pushed themselves on the back foot, making their way ahead in the tournament tumultuous. For Pakistan to qualify for the Super 8 T20 World Cup 2024, they need to win their only remaining fixture against Ireland in Lauderhill. Also, they wouldn't want the USA to win against Ireland.



If the USA beats Ireland in its last fixture, they will be through to the Super 8s with six points. Even if the fixture between USA and Ireland gets washed out and the points are shared, then also USA will be through to the T20<a href="https://icc-cricket.com"> World Cup</a> 2024 Super 8s. However, a loss against Ireland would keep them at 4 points.



To simplify the equation, Pakistan needs to win against Ireland and hope the USA lose against Ireland to make it through to the Super 8s. However, for the USA to qualify, they just need a solitary point, even a washed-out game would work for them.



Pakistan's biggest fear is the weather forecast for Lauderhill on both the matches Pakistan vs Ireland and USA vs Ireland. If one of these two gets washed out and the points are shared, then Pakistan will see themselves getting eliminated.



The USA takes on Ireland on June 14 in Lauderhill, Florida. The same venue will also host Pakistan vs Ireland on June 16.

IND vs AFG: Rohit Sharma-led Team India will lock horns against Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan in match number 43 of the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. The Super 8 fixture between India and Afghanistan will be a part of Group 1 and will be held at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on June 20th, 2024. Below are the details of Team India's Strongest Playing11 against Afghanistan.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs AFG Preview</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/01/India-vs-Afghanistan-T20I-series-1024x683.jpg" alt="IND vs AFG: Mohd Siraj OUT, Kuldeep Yadav IN, Team India's Strongest Playing11 against Afghanistan for T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8" class="wp-image-125332" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: bcci.tv</figcaption></figure>



The Men in Blue have been superb so far in the T20<a href="https://icc-cricket.com"> World Cup</a> 2024. The team under the eyes of Rohit Sharma has blown out three opponents while their last fixture got washed out. India remained atop the Group A points table with 7 points from 4 matches.



They defeated Ireland in their opening fixture and followed it by handing a humiliating defeat to Pakistan in a close contest. The USA became India's third prey. 



Though there wasn't much to offer for the batters, the bowlers held their nerves to win matches for the team. It is expected to remain the same for the bowlers, who are likely to get decent assistance off the surface in the Caribbean as well, while the batters will have to toil hard to fetch runs.



On the other side, Afghanistan had a similar kind of run so far in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The only difference was their solitary loss which came in the last group stage fixture against West Indies. 



Afghanistan got rid of Uganda, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea before succumbing against the hosts West Indies on June 17. Nevertheless, the Afghans would be pumped up to face Team India in the Super 8 fixture on June 20th. The fixture will begin at 8:00 PM IST/10:30 AM Local.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs AFG: Team India's Strongest Playing11 against Afghanistan</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/06/SKY-and-SHIVAM-Dube-1.jpg" alt="IND vs AFG: Mohd Siraj OUT, Kuldeep Yadav IN, Team India's Strongest Playing11 against Afghanistan for T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8" class="wp-image-135217" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube | Pic: X (BCCI)</figcaption></figure>



Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid would opt for a largely unchanged playing11 for the game against Afghanistan. As they say, "The winning combination shouldn't be tempered unless there is a dire need for it."



The playing11 will feature the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant in the top order. Suryakumar Yadav will be at number 4. The team is likely to keep four all-rounders - Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel.



As for the specialist bowing options, there can be a solitary change. Keeping in mind the slowness on the surface in Barbados, Team India may be tempted to bring in - Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal. 



Spin will play a key role and having someone like Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal would add more fizz to the team's bowling lineup. To bring in the spinner, Rohit Sharma will have to work out and bench either Mohammad Siraj or Arshdeep Singh.



The chances of Arshdeep Singh warming the benches are very low due to his brilliant show in the opening four matches, hence it will be Mohammad Siraj who will have to sit out.



Below is Team India's Strongest Playing11 against Afghanistan:



India's Strongest Playing11: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav/Mohammad Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh.
