National T20 Cup 2026 Semifinalists update: Group A match between Karachi Whites and Lahore Whites at the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium washed out due to rain.
The outfield stayed soaked in rain and officials eventually called it off. Both teams walked away with one point each. 1 point was enough to push them straight into the National T20 Cup 2026 semifinals.
Karachi Whites ended their group campaign at the top. Six points from four matches and a strong net run rate of 1.457. Two convincing victories earlier in the tournament had already set the tone.
Lahore Whites followed closely behind. Five points from their four games, including two wins, sealed their passage. Their campaign had moments of pressure, yet the numbers were enough once Sunday’s fixture disappeared under rain clouds.
The second match of the day suffered the same fate. Bahawalpur and Peshawar waited, watched the skies, and eventually packed up without play.
Both sides finish their National T20 Cup 2026 journey with just one victory each. Now the attention shifts to the remaining matches that will determine the rest of the National T20 Cup 2026 semifinals lineup.
Group B now carries the final piece of the puzzle. Abbottabad Region meet Lahore Region Blues, while Sialkot face Multan in Monday’s double header.
Two winners will move on and two will head home. And by Tuesday, Peshawar will host the knockout stage where the race for the National T20 crown begins.
