England, New Zealand Concerned About Upsetting Pakistan in T20 World Cup

England and New Zealand are worried about facing Pakistan in the T20 World Cup, fearing an upset. England, the defending champions, are also concerned about being upset. On the other hand, despite having three matches in hand, New Zealand is under pressure.

The T20 World Cup, featuring 20 teams for the first time, has seen some surprises on the West Indies and the United States' turf. The first-time World Cup players, the United States, have made a significant impact.

The United States made a stunning start to their World Cup campaign by defeating Canada in their opening match. Despite losing three wickets for just 195 runs, they managed to hold their nerve and clinch a historic victory against Pakistan. Despite taking seven wickets and restricting Pakistan to 159 runs, the match against one of the world's premier bowling attacks was a thrilling spectacle. They snatched victory from Pakistan's grasp, winning by just 13 runs in a super over.

With two wins, earning four points in Group A, they are well on their way to the Super Eight. Although facing a tough challenge against the formidable India, defeating Ireland will be crucial for their chances. However, Pakistan is not an easy opponent from Group A. With matches against Canada and Ireland ahead, the United States will hope for the United States to lose their remaining two matches. In that case, both the United States and Pakistan will have equal points, and the net run rate will decide.

In Group B, Scotland is comfortably positioned. They earned one point due to rain against England. Despite losing to Australia in their last match, they have five points, placing them at the top of the table.

However, England is under pressure with just one point from two matches against Namibia and Oman. Even though they defeated Namibia and Oman in the following matches, they face a tough challenge against the West Indies. They need to keep an eye on the net run rate. To secure a spot in the Super Eight, they must overcome the challenges ahead.

In Group C, New Zealand suffered a setback, losing to Afghanistan in their only match. Although they have three matches remaining against Uganda and Papua New Guinea, they face a tough challenge against the West Indies. Before that, they need to hope that the Caribbean team loses to Afghanistan.

If Papua New Guinea manages to win both their matches, they will have four points, placing them ahead of the rest in Group C. However, their fate will also depend on the net run rate. If the West Indies lose their next two matches, they will have to consider their options.

On the other hand, South Africa has taken a step towards the Super Eight from Group D. With two wins, they have four points, placing them at the top of the table. Apart from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the Netherlands, and Nepal still have a chance to secure their spots in the Super Eight
