🏏ICC Women's T20I WC 2024: Group A: M 19- PakW vs NZW, Page 70🏏 - Page 72

NZ need a win. Simple as that. Pakistan need to script some miracle to give India a chance. A huge win from Pakistan will give India a second flight. India have hope to cling on to. Strange it may sound but Indian fans will be rooting for Pakistan. Pakistan have to land a massive punch tonight. Else, soft jabs won't help neither them nor India.

Qualification possibilities are aplenty as New Zealand gear up to face Pakistan for the final league game from Group A. Defending champions Australia have already booked their berth in the semifinals with wins in all their four games but the other spot is still up for grabs. New Zealand remains the frontrunner in the race as a win against Pakistan would be enough for the White Ferns to go through while a defeat for them would prove beneficial to India who currently sit at second spot due to a better net run rate.
