Pakistan will play their final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against Ireland on Sunday at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida.

It started raining in Lauderhill last night, and the sky was cloudy on Saturday as well. The outfield is still wet and hasn’t dried completely, with more rain likely.

The match between Pakistan and Ireland is scheduled for 10:30 AM local time (7:30 PM PST).

In the past two days, two matches—United States vs Ireland and India vs Canada—were called off due to rain, leaving wet patches on the field.

Neither Pakistan nor Ireland qualified for the Super Eight. Pakistan lost to the USA and India, which hurt their chances. Although they won against Canada, the USA secured the needed points after their match against Ireland was washed out.

This last game against Ireland is just a formality before the squad returns home.
