The countdown has begun for the much-awaited clash between India and Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place in just 30 days. However, the question on everyone’s mind is whether New York is fully prepared for this colossal showdown. While construction work continues at the Nassau Stadium, there are concerns regarding the optimization of the surrounding areas to meet ICC standards.
InsideSport has learned that efforts are underway to enhance the stadium’s surroundings, with nine teams set to play their matches at this venue. Among these fixtures, the India vs Pakistan encounter stands out as the most anticipated and pivotal match of the tournament.
As the two formidable rivals gear up to face each other on June 9 in New York, anticipation is running high for a capacity crowd of 34,000 spectators. While final construction activities are still visible at the East Meadow park, preparations are expected to be completed just in time for the commencement of the mega event. Notably, this marks the first occasion that an ICC tournament will be held in the United States of America.
While the group stage matches are slated to be held in the USA, the knockout stages and other matches will be hosted by co-hosts West Indies. As the excitement builds and the clock ticks down to the historic clash, all eyes are on New York to ensure a seamless and unforgettable experience for cricket fans around the globe.
