ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Points Table: Updated Super 8 Standings After Pakistan Beat Sri Lanka; Check Major Stats

ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Points Table: Pakistan were knocked out of the T20 World Cup on Saturday despite winning against Sri Lanka by five runs in their Super Eights match at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, with New Zealand sneaking into the semifinals on the basis of better net run rate.

Invited to bat, Pakistan made a formidable 212 for 8 with Sahibzada Farhan (100) hitting a stunning century and his opening partner Fakhar Zaman scoring 84. Pakistan needed to restrict Sri Lanka to 147 or less to surpass New Zealand's net run rate and reach the semifinals from Group 2 of the Super Eights.

But they failed to do so as co-hosts Sri Lanka, who were already out of reckoning for a semifinal spot, ended at 207 for 6. Pakistan and New Zealand ended on three points each in the Super Eights stage, but the Kiwis qualified for the semifinals as the second-placed team from the group on the basis of better NRR.

England have already qualified for the semifinals after winning all three of their Super Eights matches. Captain Dasun Shanaka top-scored with 76 not out off just 31 balls while Pavan Rathnayake contributed 58. For Pakistan, Abrar Ahmed was the most successful bowler with three wickets for 23 runs.
