The 30th match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, a crucial Group A game between the USA and Ireland, was canceled due to rain.
With the USA and Ireland match ending without a result, Pakistan’s cricket team has been eliminated from the mega event. The hope was extinguished by the rainwater, and Pakistan’s journey in the T20 World Cup 2024 has come to an end.
As the USA and Ireland match was washed out by rain, all Pakistanis were disheartened. Pakistan’s campaign in the mega event ended after playing just three matches. The rain in Lauderhill drowned Pakistan team’s hopes, and the USA advanced to the Super Eight stage from Group A along with India. Now, Pakistan’s upcoming match against Ireland on Sunday is merely a formality.
From the very first match in the T20 World Cup, Team Pakistan played in such a manner that it faced criticism from all sides.
In the first match, the USA defeated Pakistan in Dallas, where the team, which claims to have the world’s best bowling attack, failed to defend a total of 159 runs.
Whether it was Shaheen, Shadab, or Haris, the opposing batters scored freely. In the super over of the tied match, the very experienced bowler Mohammad Amir was given the ball, but he couldn’t control it, bowled three wide balls, and conceded 18 runs.
Then Iftikhar and Shadab failed to chase the target, while Fakhar watched helplessly from the other end. As the over ended, the Americans began their celebration.
In the second match against traditional rivals India, Pakistan’s bowlers performed well, but the batters were exposed. Neither Babar, Fakhar, Usman, Imad, nor Shadab could perform, and they couldn’t even chase a target of 120 runs.
