The Pakistan cricket team will play their final match of a disappointing World Cup campaign today against Ireland. The game is set to take place in Lauderhill, Florida, starting at 7:30 pm.
So far, Pakistan has secured only one victory in the tournament, defeating Canada, while suffering successive losses to India and the United States. This marks their earliest exit in T20 World Cup history.
Ireland, on the other hand, has yet to win a game in the tournament.
Pitch and Conditions
Heavy rain and a soaked outfield caused the cancellation of both Friday’s USA vs. Ireland and Saturday’s India vs. Canada matches in Lauderhill. Although the forecast for Sunday is more promising, the match’s fate depends on the overnight rainfall and the pitch’s condition in the morning.
