It was a heartbreaking day for Pakistan cricket fans on Friday (June 14) after they were knocked out of the T20 World Cup as a result of the USA-Ireland contest being called off due to rain. The result meant that Pakistan were unable to finish in the top two and would therefore return home with disappointed faces.

Another big name bows out

Pakistan will join Sri Lanka and New Zealand to get knocked out of the T20 World Cup having also suffered similar fates. Like Pakistan, Sri Lanka’s fate was also decided by rain when their match against Nepal was called off, leading to points being shared. New Zealand on the other hand will have themselves to blame having lost to Afghanistan and the West Indies. England could also join the big trio if Scotland beat Australia in their final group game.

So far six teams have secured qualification to the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup including India, the USA, Afghanistan, South Africa, West Indies and Australia. India will be paired with Australia, Afghanistan and most likely Bangladesh in the Super 8 stage.
