Venue for IND-PAK T20 WC game revealed
The cricketing world is abuzz with excitement as the venue for the much-anticipated clash between traditional rivals India and Pakistan at the T20 World Cup 2024 has been revealed. Notably, the India-Pakistan cricket rivalry is one of the most passionate and fervently contested competitions in the world of sports. Each encounter on the cricket field is not merely a match but a high-stakes clash that transcends the boundaries of sport, evoking raw emotions and national pride on both sides.

Venue revealed for the epic game​


In a nod to the global appeal of cricket and the widespread passion for the Indo-Pak cricketing spectacle, organizers have chosen New York as the battlefield for this gripping encounter as reported by The Guardian. The city, known for its diverse and vibrant population, will play host to the construction of a temporary stadium, designed to accommodate the significant Indian and Pakistani communities residing in the area. It’s a makeshift 34,000-seat stadium on the outskirts of New York, marking a historic moment in the ongoing saga of the Indo-Pak cricket rivalry.

While the T20 World Cup will be dispersed across various locations in the USA, including Central Broward Park in Florida, Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas, and Eisenhower Park on Long Island, the clash between India and Pakistan will unfold in the iconic city of New York. The decision to focus on New York aims to tap into the fervent cricket fan base in the region, promising an atmosphere like no other.

Navigating time zone challenges​


Acknowledging the time zone disparities between New York and New Delhi, organizers have strategically arranged matches, especially those featuring India, with morning starts. This meticulous planning seeks to maximize viewership from the cricket-crazy Indian audience and ensure that the clash between India and Pakistan captivates millions of fans worldwide.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) and local organizing committees are working diligently to finalize the comprehensive schedule. The blueprint includes having 10 teams commence their opening group-stage matches in the USA, with the explicit goal of involving the expansive and diverse cricket-loving expatriate communities across America.

Additional Schedule Highlights​


While some adjustments to the schedule may be in the works, it is confirmed that England and Australia will exclusively play all their group games in the Caribbean. Recent assessments by ICC inspectors have assured fans that while improvements and expansions are necessary, there are no substantial impediments. Barbados emerges as the probable location for the final, given its successful hosting of the 2007 50-over World Cup and the 2010 T20 event.
