As the group stands, both sides still have the chance to reach the Super Eights but it is USA who can secure it with this game.

We are now into the final half of group stage games in the 2024 T20 World Cup and dare we say it the 'business end' of the first round!
Group A could be the first one of the four pools to have their two to progress to the Super Eights and anything other than a defeat for USA will see them India in the second stage.
However, a win for Ireland would make things really interesting with two more matches in Group A and would even give Ireland, who have been very disappointing so far in this campaign, a chance of making the Super Eights.

USA are set to welcome back their skipper and wicket keeper Monank Patel for this match after he missed the defeat against India due to a shoulder injury. With his return, star batter Aaron Jones will go back to the ranks as purely a batter, after leading the side on Wednesday, and Andries Gous will also be selected as just a batter after taking the gloves against India.
Corey Anderson and Nitish Kumar impressed with some middle and lower order hitting in Wednesday's match but it is the bowling attack of Saurabh Netravalkar and Ali Khan who have looked strong throughout. Furthermore, Harmeet Singh is likely to play a role with his slow left-arm bowling after he wasn't used against the spin-hitting due of Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube against India.

After progressing well in international cricket from 2007 onwards, there is a slight feeling that Ireland have stalled and are not making many steps forwards nowadays. Perhaps that is a bit of recency bias and due to their defeat to Canada in their last game as they did beat Scotland, the Netherlands and Pakistan in this format only one month ago. But they have not been able to kick on in T20 World Cups and they come into this game with none of their batters having hit a score of 35 yet in this tournament!
With the ball, Josh Little has been off-colour and the left-arm pacer needs to be at his best if Ireland are to make a move and climb up the table. Barry McCarthy will be dangerous as he returns to the place where he recorded his best T20I figures of 4/30.
It is now or never for Ireland!

The forecast does not look good for Lauderhill in the days running up to Friday although there is better conditions coming up later. For this game though, there are thunderstorms and showers forecast.
This is a good batting surface in Lauderhill and there are some short boundaries for the likes of Aaron Jones to target. Ireland's mis-firing batting order could also find this a place to get going again and a par score for the team batting first should be at least 175-180.
The last two T20Is have been won by the team who fielded first but the large majority of the previous games at this venue in this format have been won by the team batting first. We expect both captains to choose to bat first in this clash.
Although Ireland are the higher ranked side, it is USA who have beaten Canada and Pakistan as well as giving India some worrying moments in this tournament. Ireland look flat and we are predicting a victory for USA which will see them advance to the Super Eights.
We are backing USA to win.
