At the cultural crossroads of the world, New Yorkers will experience a thrilling first on Sunday -- a World Cup cricket match hosted in a US city between Asian powerhouses: rivals India and Pakistan. "India-Pakistan is the game everyone would like to watch, and... it's happening in our backyard," said Ajith Shetty, president of two local cricket leagues. "I'm very, very thrilled," the Indian native told AFP on Friday. However, roughly 10 miles (16 kilometers) from the pop-up stadium at Eisenhower Park on Long Island, fans interviewed in the bustling Little India neighborhood of Queens said they won't be able to attend the game in person.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has lodged an unofficial complaint to the International Cricket Council (ICC) over the New York pitch ahead of the match against Pakistan on June 9. This comes after India captain Rohit Sharma copped a blow on his thumb while facing throwdown specialist Nuwan in the nets. Rohit had also suffered a sore arm and was forced to retire hurt during the match against Ireland on Wednesday. He was hit on the biceps by a delivery from Ireland pacer Joshua Little.
Former India batter Wasim Jaffer has batted for the inclusion of Axar Patel in the team for the T20 World Cup clash against arch-rivals Pakistan at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York on Sunday. The pitch in New York has come under severe criticism as all the matches played at this venue so far have been low scoring contests. While highlighting the pace-friendly nature of the pitch, Jaffer said playing an extra batter in Axar might come in handy for the team, rather than going for someone like Kuldeep, who might struggle to pick wickets on this track.
India and Pakistan are set to renew their rivalry with both the teams square off in a T20 World Cup Group A match at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday. The Rohit Sharma-led side is coming into this match after beating Ireland by 8 wickets. Meanwhile, the Babar Azam-led Pakistan conceded a disappointing loss against the US in the super-over in their previous game of the marquee event. India hold an edge over Pakistan due to their recent form, but know their wounded arch-rivals cannot be taken for granted.
Pakistan cricket team's shock loss to the United States of America (USA) in their T20 World Cup match has sparked an epic rant from former captain Misbah-ul-Haq, who questioned skipper Babar Azam over his "casual" and "timid" leadership during the match. USA stunned Pakistsan on Thursday, beating the 2009 T20 World Cup champions after a thrilling Super Over finish at the Prairie View Stadium in Dallas, Texas. In response to Pakistan's 159/7, USA took the game to a Super Over, courtesy of a last ball boundary from Nitish Kumar.
For the second time in as many games, a low-scoring match was played in the 2024 T20 World Cup at New York. After Sri Lanka were bowled out for 77 by South Africa, India's bowlers were fearsome and relentless in bundling out Ireland for 96. The nature of the pitch in New York once again became a huge talking point – there was excessive movement and variable bounce kept the batters guessing, though some like India captain Rohit Sharma took blows in a rather comfortable eight-wicket win for the side.
It was a forgettable opening game for Pakistan at T20 World Cup 2024 on Thursday. The side suffered an embarrassing loss to United States in the Super Over of the match. Chasing a target of 160 runs in Dallas, USA were stopped at 159, a score that Pakistan too had posted batting first in the game. With the hosts needing 5 runs to win off the final ball, Nitish Kumar smashed Haris Rauf for a four to take the game to Super Over. USA set a target of 19 runs for Pakistan in the Super Over with the latter team ending at 13 in reply.
