By The upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 matches at Central Broward Park Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida, are under threat due to forecasted heavy rain.
Over the next few days, Lauderhill is expected to experience significant rainfall, which could disrupt the four scheduled matches, particularly impacting Pakistan’s chances in the tournament.
A critical match between the USA and Ireland on June 14th is predicted to have a 91% chance of rain. This game is vital for Pakistan’s progression to the Super 8.
If rain washes out the match, the USA will gain a point, bringing their total to five points and effectively eliminating Pakistan from contention.

Furthermore, there’s a 47% chance of rain during the Pakistan vs. Ireland match on June 16th. Pakistan, with two losses in their three matches so far, faces an uphill battle to qualify for the Super 8 but still has a potential path forward.
Pakistan’s Potential Path to Super 8 Qualification:
1. June 12: USA vs. India — India wins
2. June 14: USA vs. Ireland — Ireland wins
3. June 15: Canada vs. India— India wins
4. June 16: Ireland vs. Pakistan — Pakistan wins
If these results occur, Pakistan will finish the group stage with four points from four matches. India will lead the group with eight points, while the USA will also have four points. Canada and Ireland will each end with two points.
In this scenario, India will qualify directly for the Super 8. The USA and Pakistan, both with four points, will then depend on Net Run Rate (NRR) to determine the second qualifier. Pakistan needs a substantial victory against Ireland and must hope the USA loses heavily to India and Ireland to improve their NRR.
