USA vs IRE, T20 World Cup 2024: USA vs Ireland pitch report, head-to-head, playing 11, predictions, toss time

USA is set to take on Ireland eyeing a spot inn Super 8 of T20 World Cup 2024

The T20 World Cup has moved to Florida for the second part of the USA leg of the tournament. A state known for its beaches and warm, sunny climate, Florida has spiced things up with thunderstorm predictions for the whole week. South Florida has already gone through its share of heavy rain and flooding that left residents in disarray. The USA, with a Super Eights place in sight, and Ireland are all set to battle it out at Lauderhill. But will rain play spoilsport?

Since India have already qualified for the Super 8s, that leaves only one more spot for a team from Group A. If USA, currently second with two wins and a loss, prevail in this match, they will go through. On the other hand, Ireland have the odds stacked against them. They will only be able to qualify if Canada, Pakistan and USA lose their remaining games and Ireland beat both the USA and Pakistan by a considerable margin.

The USA has been brilliant throughout the tournament and won hearts with their upset of Pakistan. The star of the squad has been Saurabh Netravalkar, the left-arm pacer who has made immediate inroads with the new ball. He dismissed both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the previous game to ensure that India’s chase was no picnic.

On the other hand, Ireland are not having the best time at the tournament, having followed a loss to India with a shock defeat against Canada. The batting has been flaky and the bowlers were unable to exert consistent pressure, even on a helpful New York surface. But with experienced hands like Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie in the ranks, it would be foolish to write them off.

USA vs IRE Weather Forecast

Ultimately, the match will depend on the Lauderhill weather. With flood warnings in the state, it remains to be seen how much play we get. If it’s a washout, the point will be enough to take the USA to the Super Eights and knock out Pakistan.
