With the match against Ireland ending in a no-result, the United States secured a crucial point, bringing their total to 5 points. This advancement allowed the USA to qualify for the Super 8 stage, marking a historic first for the team. This remarkable achievement meant that even traditional cricket powerhouses like Sri Lanka and New Zealand could not secure an early spot in the Super 8. On the other hand, the rain-affected result ended Pakistan’s hopes of progressing further in the tournament, as they were eliminated in the group stage.
