    Can Pakistan still qualify for Super-8 stage of T20 World Cup?

    Despite the setbacks of two embarrassing defeats against the USA and India in the first round of the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan still has a fighting chance to make it to the super-eight stage.

    Here are some possible scenarios:

    Scenario 1: Pakistan have to win thier remaining two matches against Ireland and Canada, giving it 4 points.

    Scenario 2: The USA has already won two matches, so it should lose to India and Ireland as it already has 4 points.

    Scenario 3: Canada should lose to India and they will have 2 points.

    If this scenario works out, Pakistan and USA will each have 4 points, and their qualification for the Super-8 stage will be decided on Net Run Rate (NRR).

    Ever since whispers of ‘Na Baligh Afraad’ release started circulating, fans of ‘Na Maloom Afraad’ tried to guess what the new movie would be about. They wondered if it would be as funny as the first one or if it would be different. The makers hinted that the new movie might be geared more towards adults in their first post, which got fans talking. And when the teaser finally came out, it didn’t disappoint.

    The movie seems to be set in the 90s, a time when people were thinking a lot about growing up. It sounds like it will be fun! Back then, people didn’t really understand what it meant to be an adult until they became one themselves. It looks like the movie will be all about the journey to adulthood.

    Aashir Wajahat and Samar Abbas are popular with young fans, and seeing them together on screen will be exciting. Samar looks very different in his new look, and along with their funny conversations, Aashir is sure to make even more fans happy.
