On June 14, co-hosts United States will lock horns against Ireland. The USA are high-flying into the T20 World Cup, with two wins in three matches. A win for them against Ireland will take them through to the Super 8 round of the competition.
At the start of the competition, only a few would have predicted USA to be in the reckoning. Pakistan fans from far and wide, will watch the clash with all eagerness, as they hope for an Ireland win.
Meanwhile, the European minnows, who are more-experienced than the debutants at the world stage, are yet to win a game in the tournament. Ireland head into the game on the back of an upset loss against Canada. A win for Ireland will be more beneficial for Pakistan, than it will be, for Ireland themselves.

USA vs Ireland, T20 World Cup 2024: Prediction
With their strong performance so far in the World Cup, USA are expected to defy head-to-head history at the T20 World Cup 2024. Despite being 3-1 down on H2H, you'd think it would be a cakewalk for USA, with the momentum they're in.
Ireland on the other hand, have struggled to compete in the tournament so far. Moreover, with so much at stake for the USA, they'd have that extra motivation to win the game in Florida.
We predict USA to beat Ireland in Lauderhill on Friday.
