US vs IRE: Will rain wash away Pakistan's chances to qualify for Super 8?

Pakistan's hopes of entering the T20 World Cup's Super 8 stage hinge on the outcome of today's pivotal match between Ireland and the USA, held at the Central Broward Park and Broward County Stadium in Florida. For Pakistan to keep their tournament dreams alive, they need Ireland to secure a victory.

Here's a breakdown of the scenarios:

1. **Ireland Wins**: If Ireland wins, Pakistan’s chances to qualify for the Super 8 remain intact.
2. **USA Wins**: If the USA wins, they will have six points, thereby qualifying for the Super 8 and eliminating Pakistan's chances.
3. **Match Washed Out**: If the match is abandoned due to weather, both teams will get one point each. This scenario also results in the USA qualifying for the Super 8, which would be detrimental to Pakistan’s chances.

Fortunately for Pakistan, the current weather forecast is favorable, with only a 20% chance of rain during the game, though this could increase to 30% around noon. The match is scheduled to start at 10:30 AM local time (7:30 PM Pakistan Standard Time).

To ensure a result, at least five overs need to be played in each innings. An additional 90 minutes are available to accommodate any weather-related interruptions.
