Florida rain may end Pakistan's T20 World Cup campaign

The T20 World Cup 2024 matches at Central Broward Park Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida, face the threat of rain. Heavy rainfall is predicted, impacting the scheduled matches in Florida. The Sri Lanka vs. Nepal match was already washed out on Tuesday.

If rain continues, it could affect Pakistan's hopes, especially in the USA vs. Ireland match on June 14, which has a 91% chance of rain. Pakistan needs Ireland to win; otherwise, if the match is washed out, the USA will earn a point and secure qualification, eliminating Pakistan.

There's also a 47% chance of rain for the Pakistan vs. Ireland match on June 16. Pakistan, with two losses in three matches, still has a chance to qualify for the Super 8 if following results occur:

June 12: USA vs. India — India win

June 14: USA vs. Ireland — Ireland win

June 15: Canada vs. India — India win

June 16: Ireland vs. Pakistan — Pakistan win

If these results hold, Pakistan and the USA will tie with four points, making Net Run Rate (NRR) crucial. Pakistan needs a large-margin win against Ireland and must hope the USA loses significantly to India and Ireland.
