ICC Men’s T20 World Cup | Super 8 – Match No. 41 | Saturday, Feb 21
They’ve dodged the exit door, but can they dodge the stars?
Pakistan’s timing is perfect to emerge with momentum from their decisive final group victory.
But going into the Super 8s, New Zealand is the team to beat. With a clinical track record, they boast a squad that operates as clockwork. With the “Last Degree” Moon looming over the Premadasa in Colombo, is another Pakistan collapse on the cards?
The Chart Sparks:
Creativity vs. Foundation
The event chart has an Ascendant that is in the 4th house for New Zealand: as such, they have a “Home Comfort” foundation backing them up. Pakistan, however, has an Ascendant that is in the 5th house. The 5th house provides them the foundation needed for their “mercurial” ability (i.e., brilliant on occasion and baffling at other times).
At the same time, the Moon is located in the 11th house of New Zealand (the 11th house relates to earnings). In this kind of match-up, the 11th house tends to equate to 2 points on the scoreboard.
The Structural Reality:
Discipline vs. Desperation
New Zealand has the Sun in the 7th house and their lord in the 7th house; this indicates that the two planets together form an ideal balance for teamwork and execution. Pakistan, on the other hand, relies on the individual brilliance of their stars (Sahibzada Farhan scoring 100 runs most recently) in order to achieve success rather than relying on coordinated and executed efforts as demonstrated by the New Zealand team whose all wheel teeth of their team are turned.
The Pakistan Problem:
Pakistan’s position with respect to the combust middle order reflects astrological “red flags” as related to the Men in Green. With the 7th house Lord positioned in the 8th house (obstacles) and the 4th house Lord (Mars) combust in the 6th house, there will likely be difficulty achieving “finishing” power and internal strife. If the New Zealanders take two wickets early in their innings, Pakistan’s chart will show them as being highly misplaced under the Colombo lights.
The “Last Degree” Twist:
High Drama in Colombo!
The Moon is strongly appearing at the last degree of the 8th house. In GaneshaSpeaks terms, this represents the “Unpredictability Zone” with respect to the match. The upcoming match should see very wild fluctuations in terms of runs and/or wickets, a rapidly occurring Group 11 cameo by the last batsman, and/or an unexpected event based on how well the players perform in terms of their placement in the 8th house.

Confidence Meter:
New Zealand: 7.5 / 10.
Match Verdict:
By exploiting Pakistan’s planetary instability, expect New Zealand to secure the win.
GaneshaSpeaks Cosmic Tip: Pay close attention to the first 6 overs of the chase. Expect that with the Sun being placed in place in 7th house, the team batting 2nd will also have a “moment of truth” fairly early in the innings.
Be sure to pay close attention to how each team performs in the first 6 overs of their innings! The Sun’s planet’s position on the “seventh house” indicates that the team batting in the second innings will have an early “epiphany,” which could affect whether they will be able to win or not!
