The impact of a flash-flood emergency caused by heavy rains in Florida is already affecting the start of the game. The toss is delayed due to a wet outfield during United States Vs Ireland on Friday, June 14 at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium. (Match Blog|Scorecard|Full Coverage)

According to the weather forecast, there is a high likelihood that the game will be washed out. In such a scenario, USA would qualify for the Super Eight at the expense of Ireland and Pakistan.

On the flip side, Ireland will play their third match of the event. They began with an eight-wicket loss to India in their first game. In their following match against Canada, the Paul Stirling-led side faced another defeat, leaving them at the bottom of their group's standings.
