It is the day of reckoning for Pakistan as they await a positive result from the United States of America versus Ireland encounter on Friday. Pakistan will want the Ireland side to win the match and then beat the Paul Stirling led side on Sunday. This would enable Pakistan to make it to the Super-8 stages as the 2nd best team in Group A. 

It isn’t looking promising in Florida as there is close to 100% chance of rain as per the weather reports. It has been raining heavily with massive flooding in Florida which has thrown normal life out of control. 

If the USA vs Ireland match is abandoned then both sides will get a point each. This would automatically end Pakistan’s hopes of making it to the Super-8 stages. Even Canada and Ireland will get knocked out while United States of America will qualify as the 2nd placed team. 

Sreesanth wishes Pakistan luck for the next T20 World Cup 

Former Indian seamer Sreesanth has slammed Pakistan’s approach during the T20 World Cup. The 41-year-old during his chat news agency ANI also wished Babar Azam and his side good lock for the next T20 World Cup in 2026. 

I don't think Pakistan is following the needed routine. They don't focus on their domestic leagues. All of their legends, like Wasim bhai (Akram) and even Waqar Younis, say they need to change the entire system. So that says where they are going wrong. I will only say this to Pakistan all the best for the next World Cup. If they come back from this position, it will be a miracle. I don't think it will be easy," Sreesanth was heard saying. 

The former pacer also lauded the way USA have played in this campaign. “One of the things about T20 World Cup is every team looks strong on paper. If we talk about planning and execution, the USA team prevailed because of their planning and execution in the past two years and they have worked hard. I want the USA team to play in the Top 8 because they deserve it. They have done more than enough justice to be a part of the Top 8”
