In the Under-19 World Cup being played these days, the 12th and last match of Super-6 will be played between India and Pakistan on Sunday, February 01. It is a league match to say the least, but do not consider it less than a final. We are saying this because through this match the tournament will get its fourth semi-finalist team.

So far Australia, England and Afghanistan have qualified for the semi-finals. Now the fourth semi-finalist team will be either India or Pakistan. So let us know how one of the two teams can reach the semi-finals from this match. Team India has a chance to reach the semi-finals even after the defeat, whereas Pakistan will have to register a big win at any cost.

Team India in direct semi-finals with victory

Team India will make it to the semi-finals as soon as it wins the last league match against Pakistan. So far, Men in Blue have won all three out of three matches in Super-6. In this sense, Team India will directly reach the semi-finals after winning the fourth match.

Difficult path for Pakistan

The path to the semi-finals looks very difficult for Pakistan because the team will have to achieve a big win. The net score of the Indian team is +3.337. Whereas Pakistan’s net run rate is +1.484. In this sense, to enter the semi-finals, Pakistan will have to defeat Team India by about 200 runs, which does not seem possible.

It is also worth noting that while Team India has won all three matches in Super-6 so far, Pakistan had to face defeat by 36 runs in one match against England. This was the first match of the Men in Green in Super-6. Now it will be interesting to see who will be the fourth team to reach the semi-finals.
