USA v Ireland called off, Pakistan out of T20 WC

It's official. The match between USA are Ireland is officially called off by Match Referee Javagal Srinath due to deteriorating weather conditions at the Nassau County Cricket Ground in New York.

Pakistan and Ireland have officially finished in the bottom two places and have been eliminated. Meanwhile debutantes USA continue their dream run with a place in the Super 8 alongside India.

22:20

USA v Ireland further delayed

The latest pitch inspection has now been concluded by the Umpires.

While the pitch itself seems fine, the umpires are cautiously checking the firmness of some damp patches beyond the 30-yard circle. This slight dampness could potentially delay the start of the match.

The ICC has announced that given the current circumstances, the match could still be salvaged by making it a Five Over-a-side affair, provided it it starts by 2:15 pm local time

21:32

Umps announce another inspection

Rain leaves match in doubt, with USA on verge of Super Eights qualification. A downpour this week has left the ground damp, despite initial hopes for a match today. Ground staff are battling the conditions, but another inspection at 12:30 PM local time will determine if the game can be played.

If cancelled, USA will automatically advance to the Super Eights.

21:12

USA v Ireland to be called-off?

The umpires have completed their inspection of the pitch and declared it ready for play.

However, there are damp patches in the outfield that cause some worry. The umpires are currently assessing these areas, and their findings will determine if the match can proceed. Remember, a washout here would eliminate Pakistan and send USA straight to the Super Eights.

21:02

USA v Ireland start delayed further

The outfield appears mostly dry, but there are some damp areas further out that raise concerns. A further inspection will be conducted at 9pm IST to determine the ground's suitability for play.

USA v Ireland start delayed further

The toss of the crucial Group A T20 World Cup match between USA and Ireland was delayed due to wet outfield on Friday.

Pakistan are keeping an eye on this match since a defeat for USA will keep them in hunt for a place in the Super Eight stage.

If USA lose then Pakistan will aim to log a huge win against the Irish side in their last group game to overtake the Americans and progress to the Super Eight stage.

USA are currently placed second in the points table with four points from three games, while Ireland are placed at the bottom with two losses from as many games.

Pakistan are placed third with one win from three games, while India lead the group with an all-win record from three matches.

The chances of the match to begin are bleak as the state of Florida, where Lauderhill is situated, has been hit by a tropical thunderstorm, leading to incessant rain and flash flooding.

If the match doesn't happen, USA will create history by becoming the first team to qualify for the Super Eight stage in its maiden appearance.

USA take on Ireland in group decider

USA take on Ireland in group decider

Co-hosts USA, currently in second place of Group A with two wins from three games, face Ireland next in the T20 World Cup. They started strong with a dominant victory over Canada and a surprise win against Pakistan. However, their winning streak ended with a loss to India in New York.

Looking to bounce back, USA takes on Ireland on June 14th at Central Broward Regional Park in Florida. Rain might pose a challenge, as heavy downpours this week have caused waterlogging in many areas.

A washout would actually benefit the co-hosts. With five points, they'd advance to the Super Eight stage alongside India, who have already secured qualification with three straight wins. Ireland, meanwhile, still seeks their first win of the tournament
