Pakistan and Ireland were out of the T20 World Cup race after the match between the USA and Ireland was abandoned due to rain on Friday.

The ground staff battled to remove standing water in the outfield and the umpires checked the conditions, but rain intermittently continued.

South Florida has suffered heavy rain and flooding and the game on Tuesday at Lauderhill between Sri Lanka and Nepal was abandoned.

After the Group A game was abandoned, the USA qualified for the Super Eights stage, along with group leader India. The US shared a point each with Ireland.

The outcome of the Pakistan and Ireland match on the same ground does not matter as Friday’s result has sealed the fate of Group A which also comprised the archrivals.

The Green Shirts’ performance has been lacklustre in the mega event, with the visitors facing a humiliating defeat to the co-hosts, the US, and India.

Fans around the world and cricket experts have slammed the team’s performance in the T20 World Cup.
