  1. Who need what to qualify?

    This is the state of play in Group A.

    One more win is likely to be enough to see India and the USA through to the Super 8s.

    Both could lose their remaining two games (although only one will because they play each other) and still progress on net run-rate, depending on other results.

    Canada could progress with one win but even two wins may not see them through.

    At least one of Pakistan or Ireland will be eliminated because they face each other, and both need to win their remaining games and then rely on net run-rate if they are to have any chance of progressing.

    You can find all the remaining fixtures and permutations for all four groups here.

  2. Good afternoon

    Pakistan are going to have to summon the spirit of the 1992 'cornered tigers' if they are to keep their T20 World Cup hopes alive.

    A shock defeat against co-hosts USA was followed up with a painful loss to great rivals India. They now take on a Canada side currently above them in the table and looking to send the 2009 winners home early.
