Pakistan is finding it quite challenging to secure a spot in the Super 8 stage from here. However, if the Pakistan team wins their next two matches convincingly and the USA loses both of their matches, then Babar’s team could advance further. Pakistan’s next two matches are against Canada and Ireland.
