It's official! Pakistan is out of the T20 World Cup 2024 after a rain-affected match between the USA and Ireland in Florida. With this unexpected turn of events, let's dive into what happened and how it unfolded.
On Friday, the crucial match between the USA and Ireland was called off without a single ball being bowled due to rain. Both teams were awarded one point each, sealing Pakistan's fate in the tournament. This left Pakistan with no chance to qualify for the Super 8s, even with one match left to play.
Pakistan's journey in the T20 World Cup 2024 started on a rocky note. They lost their first match to the USA and the second to India, putting their Super 8 hopes in jeopardy. A strong victory against Canada gave them a glimmer of hope, but they needed to win their last league match and rely on other teams' results to advance. Unfortunately, the rain-affected match between the USA and Ireland ended those hopes.
In Group A, India has already secured their spot in the Super 8s, while the USA, with five points, officially joins them after the rain-affected match. Even if Pakistan wins their final league match against Ireland on Sunday, they can only reach a maximum of four points, which is not enough to advance.
With Pakistan's early exit from the T20 World Cup, the hashtag #ByeByePakistan has gone viral on social media. Fans and netizens are sharing funny memes and posts, expressing their reactions to this unexpected outcome.
