Concerns are growing over the state of the T20 World Cup pitch in New York, with former England coach Andy Flower suggesting conditions at the ground were “bordering on dangerous” during India’s win over Ireland.
Australia captain Mitchell Marsh provided an injury update on Mitchell Starc after the veteran pacer went off the field without completing his over against Oman in the ongoing T20 World Cup. In the 15th over, Starc was subbed off by Cameron Green after he bowled just one delivery in his fourth over. The left-arm pacer bowled a wide and right after the delivery he was visibly in pain. Physios came out and gave him on-field treatment, and Starc eventually walked off the field. Glenn Maxwell came in to bowl the 15th over.
There have been talks over India's playing combination ahead of their T20 World Cup 2024 opener against Ireland on Wednesday. While the debate surrounding India's opener combination has garnered most of the traction, there's another area which the team management must address, which is pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's partner. Former Australia pacer Glenn McGrath feels his compatriot Mitchell Starc and Bumrah will be the players to watch out for in the tournament.
The India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 match is one clash that cricket fans around the world always focusses on. This time at the 2024 T20 World Cup, the match will be held at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. However, the venue has been garnering all kinds of negative attention due to the nature of its pitch. The venue has drop-in pitches and from the two matches it has hosted so far (India vs Ireland on Wednesday being one of them) the pitch looked unsettled.
Concerns are growing over the state of the T20 World Cup pitch in New York where Ireland lost to India on Wednesday, with former England coach Andy Flower suggesting conditions at the ground were "bordering on dangerous".
Pacer Arshdeep Singh said he only focussed on sticking with his plan even as controlling the ball on the drop-in pitch in cloudy conditions was a big task for India quicks in their eight-wicket win against Ireland, in their T20 World Cup opener in New York. Though India had an easy outing at the Nassau Country Stadium on Wednesday, dismissing Ireland for 96 in 16 overs and overhauling the target in 12.2 overs, Arshdeep conceded that controlling the swing was an onerous task and he banked on team-mate Jasprit Bumrah's advice to overcome the issue.
Babar Azam has a long way to go before becoming a captain who can handle pressure, said former Pakistan skipper Rashid Latif, declaring that India would be favourites against his country owing to a more balanced squad when the two sides clash in the T20 World Cup on Sunday. The India-Pakistan showdown, to be held in New York, is one of the most eagerly-awaited games of the ongoing tournament being co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies.
Hardik Pandya wore a blue jersey on Wednesday but this time the crowd cheered him instead of jeering the all-rounder. The blue jersey Pandya donned on Wednesday was that of India's, and not the deep blue of Mumbai Indians in which he stood in the face of an intense storm during the IPL 2024. Here, Pandya played a key role with his fast-medium stuff that got him three wickets and “enjoyed hitting the stumps.” “Always special to play for the country, WC is something I've been able to contribute,” Hardik told broadcasters during the innings break during India's T20 World Cup match against Ireland.
