Hello and welcome to the Guardian’s groundbreaking live blog of the Florida weather. If the USA’s match with Ireland is washed out, the likeliest scenario after the biblical weather of the last few days, they will qualify for the Super 8s on their T20 World Cup debut.

It’s an extraordinary prospect, made possible by their rousing victory over Pakistan eight days ago. That result has shaped Group A and given the USA a shot at glory, albeit potentially without getting on the field. After the Miracle on Ice, it’s time for the Miracle at Sea.

If the players do get on, Ireland need to win to keep both their and Pakistan’s qualification hopes alive. But the prospects don’t look great.

The scheduled start time is 3.30pm BST, 10.30am local. It could be a long day – and an historic one.

Important Events
The umpire will carry out the inspection at 10.30am local time, 3.30pm BST. If there is no rain, I am sure there will be some kind of match, even if it is a big T10 win.
The Big Picture
Permutation Division
-
If Ireland winsThis complicates the situation: the US has four points after playing all its matches, while Ireland, Pakistan and Canada each have two points from their one remaining match (Ireland vs. Pakistan and India vs. Canada). In this scenario, net run-rate or weather would determine who qualifies along with India.
Toss is delayed
The good news is that it’s not raining in Lauderhill and there are unconfirmed reports of some orange in the sky, so there’s still a chance that a game could be played at some point, but as the outfield is not currently in a playable condition the 11am local time / 3pm BST toss will not take place.
That means there’s a chance…#T20WorldCup #IREvUSA pic.twitter.com/7b6gSlFuau

Now it’s time for a weather report from one of the greatest bowlers in the history of cricket.
It’s sunny in Port Lauderdale but the outfield is pretty wet, let’s hope for the best. #t20cwc2024 pic.twitter.com/R76MnqlYgG

preamble
Hello and welcome to The Guardian’s groundbreaking Florida weather live blog. Given the biblical weather over the past few days, the USA vs Ireland match will most likely be cancelled, but the USA will play in the Super 8s in their first T20 World Cup appearance.
It’s an extraordinary prospect, made possible by a stunning win over Pakistan eight days ago. That result clinched Group A and gave the U.S. a chance to win glory even without taking the field. After the miracle on ice, it’s time for a miracle at sea.
The player do Ireland need a win to keep both their and Pakistan’s qualification hopes alive if they are to progress, but the outlook is not bright.
The scheduled start time is 3.30pm BST, 10.30am local time.It could be a long day, and it could be a historic day.
