Pakistan suffered a crushing loss at the hands of Zimbabwe
Pakistan had to endure a heavy defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe in the Super 12 game of the T20 World Cup in 2022. This was Pakistan’s second setback in the competition, following a loss to archrival India. Zimbabwe won their first Super 12 match in the T20 World Cup with a one-run victory in the last ball. Pakistan fell one run short of the lofty target of 131 against Zimbabwe on Thursday at Perth Stadium. This was Pakistan’s second consecutive defeat in the competition, and their chances of advancing appear to be over.
If Pakistan ought to advance in the competition, they will need to win their remaining three games. Second, in order to sustain a decent run rate, Babar Azam and the company must win their final three games by a significant margin. Third, they must hope that all of the outcomes go their way, which means that South Africa loses to both India and Pakistan, Zimbabwe loses two games out of three, and Bangladesh loses another game. The loss against Zimbabwe has complicated Pakistan’s chances of qualifying for the semi-finals in Group 2.
