The pitch for the upcoming India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 match on June 9th at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York has been a bit of a talking point. Here's what we know
There have been concerns about uneven bounce on the pitch during the tournament so far, which some believe disrupts the flow of the game. This even caused the Indian captain to retire hurt in their match against Ireland.
The ICC and tournament organizers are aware of the issue and are working to improve the pitch for the remaining matches. This includes using a rolling process to push the grass in and create a more consistent surface.
Despite the recent inconsistency, the Nassau County pitch is generally considered batting-friendly. This could be good news for both India and Pakistan, who both have strong batting lineups.
Overall, while there were initial concerns, it seems the organizers are taking steps to improve the pitch.
We can expect a more batting-friendly surface with hopefully less variation in bounce for this high-voltage clash.
