Will Pakistan Be Out Of ICC Champions Trophy If They Lose To India?

Pakistan is in a tricky situation in the ICC Champions Trophy as they face India in a crucial group-stage match. The team, led by Mohammad Rizwan, posted 241 runs after losing early wickets. Despite fifties from Rizwan and Saud Shakeel, Pakistan couldn’t reach 250 runs, which might not be enough against India’s strong batting lineup.

Pakistan scored 241 runs against India.
India are favorites to chase the target.
Pakistan’s qualification depends on this and the next match.

Can Pakistan Still Qualify If They Lose?

Pakistan has already lost their first match against New Zealand by 60 runs. If they lose to India, they won’t be eliminated immediately. However, their last match against Bangladesh will become a must-win game.

Pakistan must also rely on other results. If New Zealand defeats Bangladesh, then Pakistan’s tournament is over. In that case, India and New Zealand will qualify from Group A for the semifinals.

Possible Scenarios for Pakistan:

Lose to India & New Zealand beat Bangladesh → Pakistan is out.
Lose to India & Bangladesh beat New Zealand → Pakistan still has a chance.
Win against India → Pakistan stays in the semifinal race.

Pakistan’s Qualification Hopes Depend on:

Winning against Bangladesh.
New Zealand’s results in their remaining matches.
Net Run Rate (NRR), if teams are tied on points.

Pakistan’s journey in the ICC Champions Trophy is uncertain. Their fate depends not only on their performance but also on New Zealand and Bangladesh’s results. The upcoming matches will decide whether Pakistan advances or faces early elimination.
