NEW DELHI: Florida's unpredictable weather has been a significant concern for teams and players in the T20 World Cup over the past few days. Continuous rain has led to numerous ground inspections and ultimately resulted in back-to-back washouts. The unfavourable weather has brought bad luck for the Pakistan team, while the ICC has faced criticism for lack of facilities at venues in the US and the preparedness to tackle inclement weather, especially when it was known that the flood-hit Florida will face such situations.SEE ALSO: T20 WORLD CUP 2024 Schedule | Points Table The washed-out USA vs Ireland game in Lauderhill was an important Group A fixture that ended without a ball being bowled due to the wet outfield.

India vs Canada Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: Florida rain, Virat Kohli in focus as IND face off against CAN

What does Hardik Pandya the bowler do for India’s chances in the T20 World Cup?

(AP Photo/Adam Hunger) Hardik Pandya is a confident bowler, at times seemingly more confident than his bowling seems to warrant – like he did this IPL bowling himself ahead of Jasprit Bumrah in the initial games. It didn’t quite work on those batting beauts. His bowling is also such that one can’t still go into a game fully confident that he will come unscathed or that he can slip in his full four-overs quota. But his innate confidence in his own abilities can be seen mo...

‘Umar Akmal could have been Pakistan’s Virat Kohli’: Kamran’s hypothesis after Pakistan’s T20 World Cup exit | Cricket News – Times of India

The washout in Group A match of the T20 World Cup between USA and Ireland in Florida on Thursday pushed Pakistan out of T20 World Cup 2024 in the first stage itself. The sorry exit of 2009 champions angered the nation and led to a scathing criticism of Babar Azam's team. Amid that, the hypothesis of former wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal, with India's batting legend Virat Kohli central to the context, is both interesting as well as an admission of Pakistan's past mistakes.Speaking on a TV show in Pakistan, Kamran suggested that had his brother Umar Akmal been backed and promoted, he could have done things like Virat Kohli has done for India despite not being even close to the kind of talent Kohli possesses.T20 WORLD CUP: Schedule | Points Table"Mujhe stats kal aaye hain.

2024 isn’t 1992, Babar Azam no Imran Khan, rain sinks Pakistan

Rain should not intervene. Team A needs to beat Team B. Team C should lend a helping hand. The Net Run Rate should remain in control. On such accidents of fate and variables have hinged Pakistan’s fortunes in recent years. But hope springs eternal; the faith in miracles is unshakeable, till the last ball is bowled, till the precise moment they are mathematically out of the tournament. It has become so routine for Pakistan that such emotions and attributions have lost novelty and romance. It has turned into a well-worn cliche. Pakistan, in the last group game, were on the brink, praying for divine intervention. So they wanted the rains to ease and the sun to shine in Florida. They hoped Ireland would beat the USA so that they could stay alive in the World Cup. That was not to be. Rain, ...
