The much-anticipated clash between India and Pakistan in Match 19 of the T20 World Cup 2024 will take place at the newly built Nassau County Stadium in New York. The arch-rivals clash is set to capture global attention, dominating social media trends, Television Rating Points, and newspaper headlines.
Match Timings: June 9, 8:00 PM IST
In T20I history, India and Pakistan have faced each other 12 times, with India holding the upper hand with eight victories. Pakistan has triumphed three times, and there has been one memorable tie in the 2007 T20 World Cup, which India won via a Bowl Out.
The pitch at Nassau County Stadium has been a subject of discussion for its unique characteristics. The 22-yard strip is spongy and fragile, providing variable bounce that can challenge the batters. Pacers are likely to benefit more due to the windy conditions.
