Joint hosts USA, playing in their maiden T20 World Cup, required a point or a victory to guarantee their place in the next phase of the competition, while Ireland’s hopes were hanging by a thread after losing their opening two matches. 🇺🇸🔥🙌 For the first time ever, #TeamUSA have qualified for the Super 8 stage of the @ICC @T20WorldCup! 🤩✨ Congratulations, #TeamUSA! After the start was delayed due to the wet outfield at Central Broward Park, further pitch inspections took place with ground staff working around the clock to ensure some cricket could be played in Florida. It sent USA through to the Super 8 stage in their first T20 World Cup and also earned them a spot at the next edition of the tournament in 2026, while Sunday’s group fixture between Ireland and Pakistan is now a dead rubber.
