Pakistan’s previous Super Eight match in the T20 World Cup against New Zealand was abandoned due to heavy rain. The match was called off after persistent showers delayed play for over two and a half hours. Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha had won the toss and chosen to bat before the rain interrupted proceedings. Both teams were awarded one point each under tournament rules.
With today’s match expected to proceed without interruption, both Pakistan and England will aim for a crucial win. Under T20 World Cup regulations, the top two teams from each Super Eight group will qualify for the semi-finals. The knockout matches are scheduled for March 4 and 5.
