The United States progressed to the Super Eights knockout stage at the expense of former champions Pakistan as their group match against Ireland in Lauderhill, Florida was washed out on Friday.
India topped the group with six points while the US were placed second with five points, which meant third-placed Pakistan (two points) cannot finish in the top two even if they beat Ireland on Sunday in their final group game.
The US stunned Pakistan in a match that went to a Super Over after beating Canada in the tournament opener.
Only the top two teams from the four groups advance to the Super Eights.
