"England became the first team to enter the semifinals of the T20 World Cup with a two-wicket win over Pakistan in their Super Eight match, leaving the other seven teams to fight it out for the remaining three spots. Pakistan's loss to the two-time champions on Tuesday in Pallekele has left their fate in the tournament hanging by a thread a familiar territory for the team that last qualified for the last four of a global men's event in 2022."
"The defending champions were handed a 76-run loss by South Africa in their opening game of the Super Eight on Sunday, leaving them in need of a must-win situation for their other two fixtures. The margin of the defeat also dented India's net run rate, which currently stands at -3.80 and has left them in third spot in Group 1 of the Super Eight stage."
"All seven of the remaining Super Eight teams still have a chance of qualifying for the knockouts, but some find themselves in a better position than others. However, all is not lost for the cohosts as two wins in their remaining two games will bag them four points and see them qualify if the other Group 1 results also go their way."
England qualified for the T20 World Cup semifinals after defeating Pakistan by two wickets, becoming the first team to secure a spot. Seven teams continue competing for the remaining three semifinal positions in the Super Eight stage. India, the defending champions, suffered a 76-run loss to South Africa, placing them third in Group 1 with a negative net run rate of -3.80. India requires two consecutive wins to advance, though their progression depends on other results. Pakistan faces elimination after their loss to England. All remaining teams retain mathematical chances of qualification, but their positions vary significantly based on upcoming fixtures and net run rate scenarios.
