Pakistan's world cup dreams were shattered as the match between USA and Ireland was abandoned due to the bad weather on June 14 causing the Americans to advance to the Super 8 round of the ICC men's T20 World Cup.
The US team created history by becoming the first ever debutant side to make the Super 8 round with five points from four games keeping Ireland at the bottom while pushing Pakistan out of contention of the knockout round. India and USA advance to the next stage from this group. The remaining games in the group would be played as scheduled as they would have no bearing on the Super 8 round.
HISTORY IN THE MAKING!!!

While eight matches were played at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, four games - Nepal vs Sri Lanka (June 11), USA vs Ireland (June 14), Canada vs India (June 15) and Ireland vs Pakistan (June 16) – were allotted to Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium, Lauderhill, Florida. Since it is Monsoon season, Florida is known to be hit by thunderstorms and heavy rains during late June and early July months.
The Lauderhill venue is the most established US cricket venue, having opened in 2007 as an arena dedicated to the sport. It hosted the country’s first T20 international match when New Zealand took on Sri Lanka in 2010. The USA played its first one-day international series here in 2019. The stadium, which was constructed at a cost of $70m, has a capacity of 25,000 people.
