Can India Qualify for the Champions Trophy Semi-Finals?
Despite India¡¯s dominant win against Pakistan, their semi-final spot is not yet confirmed. India currently tops Group A with four points and a +0.647 Net Run Rate (NRR) but needs one more victory for direct qualification. A loss against New Zealand could make things complicated, depending on other results.
Pakistan¡¯s Qualification Scenario
Pakistan, after two consecutive losses, is at risk of an early exit. However, they still have a slim mathematical chance of qualifying if results go in their favour:
- Pakistan must defeat Bangladesh in their last group-stage match.
- If New Zealand beats Bangladesh, Pakistan will be eliminated.
- If Bangladesh defeats New Zealand, the qualification battle will be wide open.
- If India defeats New Zealand and Bangladesh loses to Pakistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand will have two points each, and Net Run Rate (NRR) will decide the second semi-finalist.
