The Pakistan team, which started with a thrilling win against Sri Lanka in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, is now on the verge of being out of the tournament. The defeat against Australia on Friday has dealt a huge blow to the team. The crushing defeat of 9 wickets has almost shattered their semi-final hopes. Now the team has only one league match left and in this too it will have to perform miraculously and defeat New Zealand.
Australia spoiled the work
Pakistan team was bowled out by Australia for just 82 runs in the match played on Friday. After this, while chasing the target and registering victory in just 11 overs, they not only increased their net run rate tremendously but also spoiled the work of Pakistan. Pakistan team was able to score only 105 runs against India. They won against Sri Lanka but here too Pakistan was successful in keeping the target of 117 runs.
Difficult for Pakistan to reach semi-finals
After the 6-wicket defeat against India, the path to the semi-finals has become difficult for Pakistan after being beaten by Australia by 9 wickets. In the points table, the team is at fourth position in Group A. Australia has reached the semi-finals. Pakistan has to play a match against New Zealand but not just a big win but a very big win and even after that they have to pray that India gets defeated badly by the Australian team. Overall, the difference in net run rate between India and Pakistan is so big that the chances of them reaching the semi-finals are negligible.
