30 GMT) at Broward Park Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida.

Al Jazeera’s live coverage will begin at 11:30 GMT.

Most of the attention in Group A has been on the pitches, with New York receiving heavy criticism.

As the group reaches its finale in Florida on Friday and Sunday, the focus is now on the weather.

The forecast for both the USA’s match against Ireland on Friday and Pakistan’s match against Ireland on Sunday looks grim, with a high chance of rain.

India has already qualified as group winners, while the USA is in second place with two wins, including one against Pakistan.

Pakistan remains hopeful of progressing in the second qualification spot, but their fate could be decided before their match against Ireland on Sunday.

It’s all to play for, and if the weather permits, we could be in for a nerve-wracking final two rounds in Group A.

The local weather forecast shows an 80% chance of heavy rainfall, which could cause further flooding.

This does not bode well for the players and fans of both sides, as well as those of Pakistan.

If play begins, both teams will need to play at least five overs each to constitute a game.

There is an added time of 90 minutes to finish the game if play is possible.

If the weather remains true to its forecast, the game could be washed out without a ball being bowled.

An abandoned game will leave both teams with a point each, giving the USA five points from their four games and ensuring their Super Eight qualification ahead of Pakistan, Canada, and Ireland.

Even if the 2009 champions beat Ireland in the last game, they will not be able to bag more than four points in total.

The pitch will come into play for the first time in the tournament after the Nepal vs Sri Lanka game was washed out without a ball being bowled.

While the venue has produced par scores in the past, a run of showers and thunderstorms could make it a more even contest between bat and ball.

Despite their loss to India, the USA will be encouraged by their performance against some of the biggest stars of the game.

They also have a string of good results to boost their confidence.

Ireland has had a forgettable tournament so far, losing to India and Canada, and will look at this match as a turning point.

The hosts could go with the same team that has won them two matches, which means captain and top-order batter Monank Patel could replace Shayan Jahangir if the former is fit to play.

The USA team includes Monank Patel (captain), Shayan Jahangir, Andries Gous, Nitish Kumar, Steven Taylor, Harmeet Singh, Corey Anderson, Milind Kumar, Nisarg Patel, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Ali Khan, Jessy Singh, Saurabh Netravalkar, and Nosthush Kenjige.

Ireland could make a change or two to the side that has lost two games in a row, but it is unclear where that shuffle will come.

The Ireland team includes Paul Stirling (captain), Mark Adair, Ross Adair, Andrew Balbirnie, Curtis Campher, Gareth Delany, George Dockrell, Graham Hume, Josh Little, Barry McCarthy, Neil Rock, Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Ben White, and Craig Young.
