Semi-Finalists Confirmed for National T20 Cup 2026

Lahore Whites and Karachi Whites became the first teams to qualify for the semi-finals of the National T20 Cup 2026 after persistent rain washed out both scheduled fixtures on Sunday.

Heavy rain at the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium prevented any play in the highly anticipated National T20 Cup Group A match between Lahore Whites and Karachi Whites.

With no toss possible, the match was abandoned, giving both teams one point each. The shared points confirmed their progression to the knockout stage.

Karachi Whites finished at the top of Group A with six points from four matches. The team registered two wins and maintained an impressive net run rate of 1.457.

Lahore Whites also advanced after finishing with five points in the group stage. They recorded two victories and one defeat, along with the abandoned match, ending with a net run rate of 0.674.

The second match of the day between Bahawalpur and Peshawar was also abandoned due to rain without a ball being bowled.

Bahawalpur completed their group stage campaign with just one win, while Peshawar also ended with a single victory.

With Group A now settled, focus shifts to the final round of Group B fixtures scheduled for Monday.

Abbottabad Region will face Lahore Region Blues in the first match of the double-header, while Sialkot will take on Multan in the second game.

The winners of these matches will claim the remaining two semi-final spots, joining Lahore Whites and Karachi Whites in the final four.

Both semi-finals are scheduled to take place at the same venue in Peshawar on Tuesday.
