Monank Patel's United States cricket team is all set to go one-on-one against Paul Stirling's Ireland in match 30 of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 which will be played at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Florida, on June 14 (Friday). This is a crucial game for a lot of teams as it will most likely confirm the second team from Group A which will qualify for the Super 8 stage. Everyone has their eyes on this clash, especially Pakistan but is also worried that the rain might play spoilsport.
Pakistan cricket team will be watching this match closely as they would be hoping that Ireland beat the USA. So their chances to reach the next stage get a major boost and they stay alive in the race to reach the next round. However, a washout can spoil their plans
Florida weather forecast
The Florida weather forecast does not have any good news for the fans as it predicts heavy and persistent rain. The flood alert only makes things worse for the match to proceed without any disruption. the precipitation chances go up to 80 percent which can be really bothering for the fans and Pakistan team. Earlier, the Scotland vs England and Sri Lanka vs Nepal games were abandoned due to rain as well. Hopefully, this won't be the sight during today's game and the match can proceed and have a result even with a few interruptions. If rain causes a potential washout both teams will have to share a point.
