The most highly anticipated match of the T20 World Cup will be held at the New York venue on 9 June, where India and Pakistan, arch-rivals, will face off in their ongoing rivalry. Along with India and Pakistan, nine other teams will be playing matches at the New York venue next month. These teams include host USA, neighbors Canada, Ireland, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, and Bangladesh.
The T20 pitch at the New York venue has been specially constructed for the tournament and is expected to provide a fair contest between bat and ball. The conditions are designed to offer value for shots to the players while creating an exciting and competitive atmosphere for the matches. Tournament director Hough is hopeful that the pitch will have good pace, bounce and will allow batters to play shots all over the ground. The goal from the start was to produce pitches that align with these objectives.
