New Delhi, June 15 : The USA has qualified for the Super 8 stage of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup, while Pakistan has been eliminated from the tournament. The crucial match scheduled between Ireland and USA on Friday night in Florida was canceled due to a wet outfield and rain, resulting in both teams receiving 1-1 points, enabling USA to secure entry into the Super 8 with 5 points.
