Match information

Ireland vs Pakistan
June 16, Lauderhill, Florida, 10: 30am native time

Great picture: An close to two unsatisfactory campaigns

There are parties you do n't want to be at, and parties the host does n't want you at. Then there are events at which no one wants to attend.

Pakistan and Ireland find themselves in that past place, in exceedingly damp conditions in Lauderhill, Florida. Everything that occurs during their last team game on Sunday will modify that because they both have been eliminated from the T20 World Cup. However, it must be played, weather permitting, so they will prepare for a second game that will have no impact on this tournament and almost certainly wo n't affect 2026's selection.

In the wake of their defeats to the USA and India, Pakistan has one more time in America before the people have to face the wrath of a country whose anger has been roiling for a country. Mohsin Naqvi, the PCB president, is expected to ring the changes in the coming months as well as the end of this month's review of Pakistan's northern deals. Another defeat wo n't help Babar Azam's side, who can do very little to alter the country's mood.

Ireland have likewise endured a unsatisfactory event, especially since the develop- up was promising. A home get over Pakistan and success in a T20 tri- state series in the Netherlands. However, a humiliating beat against Canada was the only outcome of a miserable battle that began in New York against India. While their certification chances were potentially dead before Lauderhill's wind washed out their suit against the hosts, all that's left now is the hope that they may stop their celebration in the USA on a high note.

In the spotlight

Imad Wasim's last global game almost certainly is this. He has been reintroduced to the side and has failed to provide the starlight Pakistan believed he would take when they persuaded him to withdraw from his foreign pension. His performances with the game have been good, if underwhelming, with no batting factor of any weight, a place his innings during Pakistan's chase against India terribly underscored. After Pakistan's earliest T20 World Cup return, his speech before the game that" no one remembers semi-finalists and winners, people remember warriors" has worn out. At this point, a activity to remember as he signs off is the best comfort he can ask for.

Lorcan Tucker led Pakistan last month with two-semester centuries, before adding 40 and 55 in the tri-series against the Netherlands and Scotland. Since then, his runs have dried up as Ireland's T20 World Cup campaign flamed out before it even got off the ground. He faced 13 and 15 balls in his group games, each time he started in double figures. With no pressure and little to lose, Tucker has the opportunity to rediscover the form he found against Pakistan just a few weeks ago.

Pitch and conditions

Due to the high levels of rain and a very wet outfield, both the games in Lauderhill, between the United States and Ireland on Friday and India and Canada on Saturday, were abandoned without a toss. However, the weather forecast for Sunday is better, but it will depend on how much rain will fall overnight and how well the outfield will perform in the morning.
