In the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup today, the crucial Group A match between Ireland and USA was canceled due to rain, after which Pakistan crashed out of the race for the Super 8 stage and the host USA reached the next stage.
This crucial match in Lauderdale Florida was delayed due to rain and the toss could not be completed.
The match between USA and Pakistan was scheduled to start at 10:30 local time (7:30 Pakistan time). However, due to continuous rain, the match was first delayed and then cancelled.
Due to rain, the game was not played and both teams were given one point after which America has reached the next stage with 5 points in Group A while Pakistan was out of the World Cup before playing the last match of their group against Ireland. It should be clear that for Pakistan to be in the event, it was necessary to have a match between Ireland and America first, and if there was a match, it was also necessary for America to be defeated.
However, after India and America reached the Super 8 stage from Group A, the match between Pakistan and Ireland on June 16 became meaningless.
Along with Pakistan, Ireland is also officially out of the World Cup.
Group A situation
India is at the first position with 6 points after consecutive wins in 3 matches, USA is at the second position with 5 points from 4 matches.
Pakistan, Ireland, India and Canada are yet to play their final group matches.
It should be remembered that the national cricket team was defeated first by the USA and then by India in the event, while the green shirts won the match against Canada.
