LAHORE, – will meet Australia in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup semi-finals after South Africa failed to hold England to less than 131 runs in their Super 12 match on Saturday.
According to the points chart, England leads Group One, while Australia is second, and Pakistan continues to lead Group Two, despite the fact that the Men in Green have still to play their match against Scotland on Sunday.
Pakistan’s squad is yet to lose a game in Group 2. With 8 points, the squad presently leads the group. On Sunday, the Men in Green will face Scotland in the final match (today).
The encounter between New Zealand and Afghanistan, on the other hand, will determine which side will finish second in the group. If New Zealand defeats Afghanistan, it will comfortably qualify and India will return home empty-handed; if Afghanistan defeats the Kiwis, it will compete with India based on run rate.
At the moment, Kohli XI’s run rate is far higher than that of the Afghanistan squad.
It is worth noting that Australia handily trounced the West Indies in the match, propelling the Kangroos to second place in their group.
