In their opening match of the T20 World Cup 2024 , Pakistan suffered a shock defeat at the hands of the USA in the super over at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on Thursday, June 6. With this unprecedented result, Pakistan are suddenly in a tough spot in terms of making it to the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup 2024 from Group A.
In this article, SportsTiger looks at three reasons why Pakistan will not make it to the Super 8 stage in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Problems in batting and fielding departments
Pakistan had a few problems in their batting department in the build-up to the T20 World Cup 2024, which got exposed in front of a very impressive bowling attack of the USA in their tournament opener. Fielding, which has been a perennial problem for Pakistan cricket over the years, didn’t do well during their opening T20 World Cup clash either, with misfields, overthrows, and drop catches aplenty.
