India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 Match Pitch Report:
While acknowledging that there are issues with the pitch at the Nassau County Stadium in New York, the ICC said they are striving to find a solution so that the remaining matches may be played on the best surfaces possible.
After low-scoring matches on June 3 between South Africa and Sri Lanka and June 5 between India and Ireland, concerns were voiced over the slow speed of the New York surface. Ireland was bowled out after scoring only 96 runs by the Indian Pace attack.
Two more India matches are scheduled to take place at this New York stadium on June 9 and June 12 against Pakistan and the United States. Pitch preparation in New York is done by curators employing the drop-in method. In this method, the pitch is brought from some other venue and installed on that particular ground before the match starts. This New York Cricket ground pitch was brought from Australia. Hopefully the pitch issue will get fixed before the India vs Pakistan all important clash.
