(Web Desk) — Pakistan will face a crucial match against Canada at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York today, as their T20 World Cup campaign hangs by a thread.

To remain in the tournament, Pakistan must win both of their remaining high-stakes group matches. Furthermore, their chances hinge on the United States losing both of their upcoming games against India and Ireland.

If the US secures even a single point, Pakistan’s World Cup journey will abruptly end in the first stage. The Green Shirts’ situation is so precarious that a rain-affected match would spell their elimination, as the US needs just one point to advance to the second round.

Pakistan has faced setbacks in their first two World Cup matches, losing to both the US and India. They suffered a heartbreaking defeat in a Super Over against the US, and in their match against arch-rivals India, they fell short by six runs while chasing a modest 120-run target.

Today, Pakistan will compete against Canada, who recently triumphed over Ireland by 12 runs, at 7:30 PM PST.

To advance to the Super 8 round, Pakistan must not only win their remaining group matches but also significantly boost their run rate.

If the US loses to both India and Ireland, Pakistan’s match against Ireland on June 16 will become decisive.
