Pakistan Faces World Cup Crisis: Forfeiting India Match Means 2 Points Loss, NRR Hit

• Pakistan's T20 World Cup equation is in jeopardy if they boycott their match against arch-rival India.
• Forfeiting the match would result in a loss of two points for Pakistan, with India gaining them.
• Pakistan's Net Run Rate (NRR) would be severely impacted, as the ICC rule assumes 0 runs in 20 overs for a forfeited match.
• This NRR hit could lead to elimination if India loses to other teams or if Pakistan ties with multiple teams in points.
• India's NRR would not be affected by Pakistan's boycott, only gaining two points.

Why It Matters: Boycotting the India match would cost Pakistan 2 points and severely damage their Net Run Rate in the T20 World Cup.
