[Saba Sports News] The T20 World Cup 2024 is just six months away and just like every ICC tournament, the focus is on the India-Pakistan bout.
The two teams are likely to be placed in the same group. As reported by The Guardian, the fixture will be held in a pop-up stadium on the outskirts of New York, having a seating of around 34,000 people.
Notably, the upcoming T20 World Cup will be jointly-hosted by the West Indies and the USA.
Only three venues in the USA will host the competition – Broward Park in Florida, Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas and Eisenhower Park on Long Island in New York.
As per the recent census date, New York is populated approximately with 7,11,000 and 1,00,000 people of Indian and Pakistani origin respectively.
New York is 10 and a half hours behind India in time. Therefore, a conscious effort is being made to accommodate the India matches to morning, making sure it does not impact the Indian audience, which contribute to the bulk of the viewership.
