The USA’s date with destiny arrives on June 14, as they aim to reach the knockout stage of the T20 World Cup for the first time. A win over Ireland in Lauderhill will secure their passage.

Before Betting On USA vs Ireland T20 World Cup

The T20 World Cup is heating up in the United States, and a huge match on the calendar arrives this weekend, as the USA will be hoping to secure their passage through to the Super 8 stage with a win over Ireland. America have already upset the odds at the tournament after claiming a famous win over Pakistan, and that puts them in pole position to reach the next round.

The USA almost caused another seismic shock in their previous outing, after forcing India to recover from a devastating position. However, the fairy tale fell short in East Meadow, with the prestigious Indian national side able to land a seven wicket win with just over one over remaining. But, massive confidence would have still been taken despite that defeat.

Ireland’s place in the T20 World Cup is still up in the air, but they require victories in each of their last two matches to secure a place in the Super 8 stage. The nation have lost each of their opening two matches, and it appears incredibly unlikely that their journey will continue into the knockout stage after suffering defeats against India and Canada.

Their most recent setback was suffered against the latter, with Canada winning by 12 runs after Ireland failed to chase down a score of 137 against their North American rivals. A big few days await Ireland, but they could come into this match against the USA as the underdogs.

The USA are certainly the value pick in this clash on Friday. Ireland has already struggled against Canada at the tournament this summer, and if the U.S. produces the level of performance that they showed against Pakistan and India, they should land a famous win.
