The ICC T20 World Cup 2024 has entered the business end of the group stage matches. A few times have already made their place in the Super Eight stage, while a few teams are searching for form and have lost crucial games. They are currently depending on a few results to go their way even after winning their remaining games. One such team is Pakistan who have won only one of the three games they played in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. They were defeated by USA in their first game in the Super Over and then they were defeated by India. Despite being in a position where Pakistan could win both games, they failed to cross the finishing line. Now India are at the top of the Group A table and have secured qualification to the Super eight. Pakistan are still alive and fighting for the second spot.

How Can Pakistan Qualify For the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eight Stages?
Pakistan is still competing with USA to secure the second spot of Group A. In order to get into the Super Eight stages, they have to win their remaining game against Ireland and hope that USA lose their last match against Ireland. USA lost their last game against India and are still ahead of Pakistan in net run rate. USA need to lose their last match against Ireland if Pakistan need to have any chance of qualification to the Super Eight stage. USA vs Ireland and Pakistan vs Ireland, both matches will be played at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida on June 14 and 16 respectively.

How Rain in Lauderhill Likely To Spoilsport Pakistan’s Chances For Super Eight Qualification?
Unfortunately, the entire district of Florida is under flash flood emergency alert as of now. A flash flood emergency was declared Wednesday for parts of South Florida amid heavy rain that wasn’t expected to stop for several days. Downpours and subsequent flooding blocked roads, floated vehicles in and around the district. The bad weather has put the matches of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 set to be played in Lauderhill under threat of washout. If washout happens in the USA vs Ireland game, USA will get a point which will take them out of reach for Pakistan. If Pakistan's game is washed out, they will lose a chance to catch up to USA. In both cases Pakistan will be eliminated from the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
