<h2><strong>Pakistan out of T20 World Cup</strong></h2>

<p>Expecting Ireland to win against the USA in Florida, Pakistan’s hopes were dashed when the match was called off without a ball being bowled. The result meant that the USA surged to five points from their four matches while Ireland opened their account on the points table. However, Pakistan were the biggest loser&nbsp;on the night as they were unable to catch the USA on five points. Pakistan, even if they win against Ireland on Sunday will only reach a maximum of four points.</p>

<h2><strong>Another big name bows out</strong></h2>

<p>Pakistan will join Sri Lanka and New Zealand to get knocked out of the T20 World Cup. Like Pakistan, Sri Lanka’s fate was also decided by rain when their match against Nepal was called off, leading to points being shared. New Zealand on the other hand will have themselves to blame after&nbsp;losing&nbsp;to Afghanistan and the West Indies. England could also join the big trio if Scotland beat Australia in their final group game.</p>

<p>So far six teams have secured qualification to the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup including India, the USA, Afghanistan, South Africa, West Indies and Australia. India will be paired with Australia, Afghanistan and most likely Bangladesh in the Super 8 stage.</p>

T20 World Cup: Pakistan officially eliminated after USA-Ireland match called off due to heavy rains in Florida

<p>The New York Strikers, the triumphant international franchise known for their outstanding season in the Abu Dhabi T10 and Legends Cricket Trophy, are slated to resume their journey in the upcoming editions. The Colombo Strikers are also meant to return in the forthcoming LPL 2024 (Lanka Premier League 2024) following the New York Strikers' success in international format. Yuvraj Singh and Daniel Christian, two distinguished members of the Strikers franchise who have participated in international tournaments, shared their thoughts on what they hope to see from the current T20 World Cup.</p>

<p>Speaking on the impact of the current conditions on the T20 World Cup players, Yuvraj Singh, a member of the New York Strikers as well as the ambassador of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, shares, “I don’t think you need much experience for conditions. If you arrive early and adjust to the weather, the players have the required experience.”</p>

<p>In particular, Yuvraj Singh, a legendary cricket player, contributed greatly to the team's outstanding performances. During the Legends Cricket Trophy season 2 finals, Singh displayed flashes of his vintage stroke-making ability for his talented squad to succeed.</p>

<p>Remarking if the current World Cup can cause upsets, Yuvraj Singh shares, “A World Cup is about upsets. We have already seen a few upsets so far so no team can be taken for granted. The Super 8 is going to get interesting now and each team are in with a chance to qualify for the semis.”</p>

<p>Sharing thoughts about the World Cup being held in the United States, New York Strikers esteemed player Daniel Christian shares, “I think it has been a bit of a slow start for a lot of the teams to see. Witnessing the current conditions, the teams present will need to make every effort to perform well.”</p>

<p>“Seeing how everyone is simultaneously adjusting to the game regarding if the ball will spin and if the slow balls will hold up, the environment is incredibly fascinating. On the field, winning with a 200 or a 140 can’t be guaranteed,” remarked Daniel</p>

<p>The New York Superstar Strikers, who made their debut this past year, had an incredible journey as they went out with a full-out power play in the international season. To ensure they consistently delivered on the promise of maintaining an exciting game, some of the greatest legends in history, such as Chadwick Walton, Daniel Christian, Rahul Sharma, and Alviro Petersen, teamed up and leveraged their strengths to power the New York Strikers as the best.</p>

<p>Not to mention legendary cricketers like Babar Azam, who was the world’s best ODI batsman while playing for the Colombo Strikers, have called the New York Strikers his home. After playing in an international league for the first time outside of Pakistan, Babar Azam's fast-bowling century in the Lanka Premier League 2023 will be remembered throughout history.</p>

<p>Sagar Khanna, owner of the New York Strikers franchise, shared his encouragement, saying, "All team squads of the T20 World Cup have the unique ability to create memorable moments both on and off the field. We are looking forward to an outstanding T20 World Cup with exceptional performances from all the teams.”</p>

<p>In an incredible display of strength and persistence, the New York Strikers squad quickly rose to the pinnacle of cricket success, accomplishing unmatched success in an exceptionally short amount of time.

'Any T20 World Cup match can change in an instant': Yuvraj Singh

<p>On Friday (June 14), USA will take on Ireland in the Florida leg of Group A in the T20 World Cup 2024 edition. So far, Florida has hosted only one game in the ongoing 20-nation tournament, being held in West Indies and the USA. It was a washout encounter between Group D's Sri Lanka and Nepal, where not even the coin toss was possible. The weather forecast isn't encouraging for the remaining three games, however, if the USA-Ireland clash is washed out, it will confirm the team who will be enter&nbsp;the Super 8 along with India&nbsp;from&nbsp;Group&nbsp;A.</p>

<p>From Group A, India have secured a place in the next round&nbsp;with three successive wins whereas Canada are&nbsp;out (who may reach four points -- with a win over India -- but have a very poor Net Run-Rate). USA, with 3 points, are a strong contender to enter the next round. Even a washout against Ireland will secure them a spot in the Super 8.</p>

<p>If the match is abandoned due to rain, USA will end with 5 points from four games. Ireland will have 1&nbsp;point&nbsp;with a game to go, versus Pakistan (also in Florida on Sunday). The winner of the Ireland-Pakistan clash will end with 3 and 4 points, respectively. Hence, USA will step into the next round even with a washout against&nbsp;the Irish camp on Friday.</p>

<h2><strong>WILL IT BE USA ALONG WITH INDIA?</strong></h2>

<p>USA have stunned one and all with their performance in the ongoing showpiece event. While they opened their campaign with a good win over Canada, they pulled off a shocking victory over Babar Azam &amp; Co. Even against India, they had their moments before losing by seven wickets in New York. Hence, even a washout versus Ireland will help their cause.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Ireland and Pakistan's campaigns will come to an end if rain plays spoilsport in Florida on Friday.</p>
