Cricket
Pakistan, who currently have four points and are placed third in Group 2 of the Super Six stage, need to defeat India by a healthy margin.
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Pakistan will face arch-rivals India at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Sunday, 1 February with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 9.30am local time, with Pakistan requiring a victory with heavy margin to secure a place in the semi-finals.
England, Afghanistan, and Australia have already qualified for the semi-finals, leaving only one spot available from Group 2. India will book a direct place in the last four with a win over Pakistan by any margin.
Pakistan, however, face a tougher task. Pakistan, who currently have four points and are placed third in Group 2 of the Super Six stage, need to defeat India by a healthy margin to secure a spot in the semi-finals. England sit at the top of the table with six points and are currently playing New Zealand at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.
If Pakistan bat first, they must register a victory by at least 85 runs to keep their semi-final hopes alive. In case Pakistan are chasing, they will need to reach the target at a rapid pace. For instance, if the target is 251 runs, Pakistan must complete the chase in 29.4 overs or fewer to qualify for the semi-finals.
