The fate of the Green Stones to stay in the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final will be decided today.
According to information, in the important match of Group 2, England and New Zealand teams will face each other at the R Premadasa stadium in the city of Colombia today at 1:30 p.m.
An England win against New Zealand would keep Pakistan’s hopes alive, but a New Zealand win would end the do-or-die cycle for Pakistan and the final group match against Sri Lanka would be a formality.
England advanced to the semi-finals with 4 points, while New Zealand is a strong contender for the semi-finals in second place with 3 points.
New Zealand’s defeat against England and Pakistan’s win against Sri Lanka will also ensure Pakistan’s direct entry into the semi-finals.
For this, Pakistan need to win against Sri Lanka by a certain margin to improve their net rating against New Zealand.
It is worth noting that the Pakistani cricketers rested yesterday and a full round of practice will be held today.
