How can Pakistan still qualify for the semifinals of the Champions Trophy 2025 after losing against India?

The brilliant century of Virat Kohli (100 not out of 111) helped Pakistan’s archirival from India for six WICKETS in the 2025 Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday. In addition to the 51A ton of Kohli, the elegant 67 balls of Shreyas Iyer and the Shubman Gill of 52 of 52 balls also played crucial roles in the persecution of India.

After winning the raffle and choosing to hit first, Pakistan was fired for 241 when Saud Shakeel hit 62 of 76 balls, while Captain Mohammad Rizwan made a laborious 46 of 77 deliveries. For India, the left -arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav (3/40) picked up three WICKETS and the Hardik Pandya SUV (2/31) eliminated Babar Azam (23) and Shakeel.

The dominant victory of Six Wickt should be sufficient for India, which is now at the top of group A with four points, to reach the semifinals of the ongoing champions trophy.

However, Pakistan is looking at the early elimination of the eight -team event after his second successive loss. Previously, Pakistan had already suffered an overwhelming defeat of Six Wickt against New Zealand at its inauguration on February 19 at the Karachi National Stadium.
The Pakistan led by Mohammad Rizwan now sits in the last position in the table points of group A with zero points.

What needs Pakistan to qualify for semifinals?

After his loss of six Wickt against India, Pakistan’s possibilities to qualify for the semifinals of Champions Trophy 2925 are no longer in their hands. Their hopes remain mathematically possible and depend on a series of specific results and calculations of favorable net execution rate.

Pakistan now needs to beat Bangladesh by a significant margin on February 27. They would also need India to beat New Zealand on March 2 in Dubai.

For Pakistan to qualify for the semifinal, it is also important that New Zealand loses both remaining games by large margins to negatively affect its net execution rate.

Remaining matches in Group A of Champions Trophy 2025

February 24: Bangladesh vs New Zealand, Rawalpindi

February 27: Pakistan vs Bangladesh, Rawalpindi

March 2: New Zealand vs India, Dubai

Any washing in these three games of the group to officially eliminate Pakistan from the current Champions trophy.
