If the second semifinal on March 5 is washed out due to rain, it will be played the following day, March 6. In case both days are affected by weather, the team with higher points from the group stage will move forward to the final. The venue for the final is also subject to change. If India defeats Australia in the first semifinal, the final is likely to be shifted to Dubai. However, if Australia wins, Lahore will host the title clash. This decision has been taken considering logistical and security concerns related to the participation of the Indian team in Pakistan. Defending champions Pakistan, however, have had a disappointing campaign, failing to win a single match in the tournament. They lost their opener against New Zealand, followed by a defeat against India. Their last group-stage match against Bangladesh was abandoned due to rain, leading to their early exit. Despite Pakistan's elimination, the anticipation for the final stages of the tournament remains high, with cricket fans eagerly waiting to see who will lift the trophy.
