FLORIDA: The Pakistan team has been ruled out of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 after the United States of America (USA) game against Ireland was cancelled due to rain in Lauderhill, Florida.
The two teams shared a point each which sealed the fate of the Babar Azam-led side in the marquee event on Friday.
As a result of the washout, the USA qualified for the Super 8s of the tournament for the first time.
