The match getting washed out meant that both teams (the US and Ireland) got one point.The US ended the group league campaign with five points from four games and Pakistan even if they win their last match against Ireland can maximum reach four points.
The chances of the match taking place on Friday were always bleak as the state of Florida, where Lauderhill is situated, had been hit by a tropical thunderstorm, leading to incessant rains and flash flooding.
