Champions Trophy 2025 Host Pakistan Can Still Qualify For Semi-Finals If...

With Virat Kohli's another impressive inning and splendid hundred, Team India defeated Pakistan in the Champions Trophy 2025 by 5 wickets and 46 balls to spare on Sunday. The men in blue dominated Pakistan in every department of the game, resulting in a comfortable victory.

This was Pakistan's second consecutive defeat in the tournament, which minimized their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals. Most people on social media are speculating that host Pakistan is now officially out of the tournament, however, it is not right, and still, there's a small hope alive.

It is said that cricket is a game of uncertainties, if Bangladesh somehow defeats New Zealand and India continues its great form, then Pakistan only needs to beat Bangladesh by a good margin and they may get promoted to the next round.

However, this is not as simple as it sounds. There are good chances that India can beat New Zealand in their next game, but can Bangladeshi Tigers outclass BlackCaps, is a big question.

Team New Zealand, which defeated Pakistan in the opening game, is playing wonderful cricket, however, it will not less than a miracle if East Pakistan triumphs and pushes Western Pakistan to move forward.

Bangladesh will take on New Zealand today at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, while Team India will lock horns against Kiwis on March 2 at the Dubai International Stadium.
