T20 World Cup 2024: What Happens if India vs Pakistan is Washed Out?
There are 50% chances of rain interruptions during India vs Pakistan clash during T20 World Cup 2024.
The highly anticipated India-Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 encounter on June 9th in New York faces a potential washout due to the looming threat of rain. While there’s still hope for a full 20-over contest, let’s explore the scenario if the weather doesn’t cooperate.
One Point Each, Qualification Woes for Pakistan
In the unfortunate event of a complete washout, both India and Pakistan will be awarded one point each as per ICC regulations. This is because the tournament doesn’t have a reserve day for this match.
However, this one point might prove insufficient for Pakistan, especially considering their shaky start with a shocking defeat to USA in the super over. Their qualification for the next stage becomes significantly more challenging.
Group A Dynamics and Pakistan’s Qualification Chances
Group A of the T20 World Cup features India, Pakistan, USA, Canada, and Ireland. India, with a win against Ireland already under their belt, are strong contenders to win their remaining matches. Similarly, USA, boasting two consecutive victories, sit in a comfortable position.
On the other hand, Ireland, having lost both their matches, are almost out of contention. Canada’s one win keeps them in the race, but they face stiff competition.
A washout against India would leave Pakistan with just one point, making their qualification significantly dependent on the results of other matches in the group. If any other team besides India manages to secure more points than Pakistan, the latter will be eliminated from the tournament.
