Pakistan’s pathway to the T20 World Cup Super 8 hinges on today’s big game. Ireland is facing off with the USA at Central Broward Park in Florida’s Broward County Stadium. The tournament future for the Men in Green is tangled up with Ireland’s win.
If the USA triumphs, they’re fast-tracking to the Super 8 stage with six points under their belt. But, suppose the game gets rained out. Both teams, Ireland and the USA, will walk away with a point each, pushing the USA into the Super 8.
This outcome doesn’t do Pakistan any favors. Luckily, the weather today looks promising, so a rain check seems less likely. The game’s outlook looks good, just a slim 20% chance of rain. But by noon, that’ll tick up a bit to 30%. The kick-off is at 10:30am local, or 7:30pm if you’re in Pakistan.
Our teams need at least five overs each for a done deal on the result. Plan for an extra 90 minutes, though. Any surprises with the weather, and we’re covered.
Pakistan’s team is gearing up for their last group match against Ireland. This game is happening on Sunday, June 16, at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium. Both teams are giving their all to reach the Super Eight phase.
The last three games of Group A are being held in Florida. The weather there has been rough, even experiencing floods this week.
