The highly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 has been delayed due to rain at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. The match was scheduled to begin at 8.30 pm IST (3 pm GMT), but the ground staff has been forced to cover the square.
The rain has been persistent, and the umpires have conducted several inspections. The latest update is that another inspection will be held at 7.45 pm IST (2.15 pm GMT). If the conditions improve, the toss will take place at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT), and the first ball will be bowled at 8.30 pm IST (3 pm GMT) with no overs lost.
India, who defeated Ireland in their opening match, will be looking to extend their dominance over Pakistan in World Cup cricket. Pakistan, on the other hand, will be desperate to bounce back from their shock defeat to the USA.
The match is expected to be a close contest, with both teams boasting a number of world-class players. India will be relying on the experience of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah, while Pakistan will be hoping for big performances from Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi.
The conditions in New York have been challenging for batters, but both teams will be confident of putting up a competitive total. The pitch is expected to offer assistance to the fast bowlers, so the pace attacks of both teams will be crucial.
The atmosphere at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium is sure to be electric, and the fans will be hoping for a thrilling encounter between two of the world's best cricket teams.
