Pakistan’s last T20 World Cup 2024 match likely to be affected by wet outfield

FLORIDA: Former champions Pakistan are scheduled to play their last match in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 against Ireland but the wet outfield at Central Broward Regional Park may lead to a delayed start of the match.

According to the details, it rained cats and dogs in Lauderhill on Sunday night and the weather remained overcast till the morning.

As a result, the outfield of the Central Broward Regional Park is damped and has many wet patches which may lead to a delayed start or may be abandoned.

For the unversed, Florida’s weather has been far from ideal for the cricket action as the previous two Group A fixtures between India and Canada and Ireland and USA were abandoned without a ball bowled.

The abandonment of the USA-Ireland match marked the end of Pakistan’s journey in the T20 World Cup 2024.

Besides Pakistan, Ireland and Canada were also eliminated from the Super 8s race.

The USA finished the group stage with five points in four matches. Whereas, Pakistan could attain a maximum of four points if they manage to beat Ireland in their last group fixture, scheduled on June 16.

Pakistan had a disastrous start to their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign as they suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of the USA in the Super Over.

The Green Shirts then succumbed to a frustrating six-run defeat against arch-rivals India in a blockbuster clash, that took place at a jam-packed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on June 9.

The former champions then finally got on the winning track when they registered a hard-fought seven-wicket victory over Canada.
