Ireland is all set to take on the USA in the 30th match of the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup, which will be played in Central Broward Regional Park, Florida.
Teams review:
Both teams are in group A of the T20 World Cup 2024. The USA has won two matches out of three. In the first match, they defeated Canada by seven wickets, while in the first match of the mega event, they upset Pakistan, defeating them by five runs in the super over.
Yesterday, India defeated the USA by seven wickets at Nassau County Cricket Stadium.
They are placed in the second spot of the points table with four points, while India has already qualified for the Super Eight stage. If the USA wins this match against Ireland, they will qualify for the super eight stage, but there are 80 percent chances of rain during the match.
If the match is washed out due to rain, the USA will have five points and will qualify for the Super Eight stage, but if Ireland defeats the USA and Pakistan defeats Ireland in their last match, Pakistan will qualify for the Super Eight stage on the basis of a better run rate.
Key Players:
USA: Monanik Patel, Aaron Jones, Saurabh Netheralwakar, Harmeet Singh
Ireland: Andrew Balburnie, Mark Adair, Paul Stirling, Ben White
Head to Head:
Both teams have never played each other before. This will be the first time they will face each other in T20 format.
