Cricket fans around the world are gearing up for the blockbuster T20 World Cup match between archrivals India and Pakistan, set to take place in New York on Sunday, June 9. The match, which will be held at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, has generated immense excitement and anticipation.
India, coming off a comfortable win against Ireland, will face Pakistan, who suffered a shocking defeat to the USA in their opening match. Security measures in Long Island have been heightened to unprecedented levels for the event, with officials comparing the security arrangements to those of the Super Bowl.
The match is scheduled to start at 10:30 am local time, with viewers in India and Pakistan tuning in at 8 pm and 7:30 pm respectively. The temporary pitch at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium has seen some low-scoring encounters, favoring seam bowlers due to movement and bounce.

As the two cricketing powerhouses prepare to face off, India holds the upper hand historically, having won six out of the seven T20 World Cup encounters between the two teams. Fans can catch all the action live on various broadcasting platforms, with Al Jazeera providing live text and photo coverage of the match.
