🏏ICC T20I WC 2024: Match 30: Ireland vs USA, Florida @8:00 PM IST🏏 - Page 8

8:25 pmUPDATE - 8.25 pm IST (2.55 pm GMT) - The sky has darkened a bit and the outfield is still quite wet. The groundstaff are working hard to get it ready but if it rains again, it will further delay the proceedings. The next inspection will happen at 9 pm IST (3.30 pm GMT). Fingers crossed!

A few dark clouds meandering over the stadium, but for now the rain stays away. Still about half an hour away from the inspection, hang tight!!

Lots of interest likely in qualification for the next T20 WC. "The top eight from here - which means if USA go through they qualify for 2026 - plus the two hosts (India and Sri Lanka) plus the top-two ranked teams outside of this on the day of the T20 World Cup final."

Hello all. the next inspection is 30 minutes away. Hoping for some positive news from the ground.

So if at 9 they decide to have toss can they immediately start the match or they still need to give the requisite half hour gap between toss and game?

The teams need some time to get ready once it is decided who is going to bat first and who is going to field. In the last rain affected match they got 15 minutes.

Cheers..

Thanks for confirming

So inspection in 10 minutes.. Let's see
