Florida [USA]Pakistan was eliminated from the T20 World Cup after the Group A match between the United States and Ireland was rained out on Friday.
Due to the game being canceled, the USA and Ireland were awarded one point each, giving the USA five points and qualifying them for the Super 8 stage. This marks the seventh time that a semifinalist has advanced to the next round.
Pakistan can pick up just four points if they win their match against Ireland in Florida on Sunday. Ireland can also join the race for the title if they win both games, but they too will miss out on a place in the Super Eight. Neither team could match the United States’ points tally and were eliminated from the tournament.
India had already qualified for the next round after beating the USA by seven wickets in New York on Wednesday.
On the day of the match, the weather gods did not allow a coin toss. At one point, the weather cleared up and expectations for the match were high, but in the end, rain ruled out the possibility of a match.
Pakistan won their first match of the season with a win over Canada, with the men in green putting in an all-round performance to secure a seven-wicket victory.
In the last match, the USA struggled against India but ultimately lost by seven wickets.
