After Pakistan's ouster from T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan batter Ahmad Shahzad said, "If you're depending on Ireland to defeat someone, you...don't deserve to qualify." "Don't think...'Kudrat Ka Nizam' works for...[undeserving]," he added. Pakistan needed Ireland to beat USA to increase their chances of qualifying, however, the match was abandoned, leading to USA's qualification to Super Eight.
