South Florida has suffered heavy rain and flooding.
THE UNITED STATES qualified for the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup for the first time after their final group fixture with Ireland was abandoned due to heavy rain in Florida.
Storms were forecast for Friday and while it was dry when both teams arrived at the ground, the toss was delayed due to a wet outfield. And despite the best efforts of ground staff, the clash was eventually abandoned, ensuring both Ireland and 2022 runners-up Pakistan could no longer progress from Group A.
After the start was delayed due to the wet outfield at Central Broward Park, further pitch inspections took place with ground staff working around the clock to ensure some cricket could be played in Florida.
