The India-Pakistan 2024 T20 World Cup match in New York on June 9 is likely to be played during the day to accommodate local TV schedules due to the considerable time difference between the subcontinent, the West Indies, and the USA. There are also reports that the Men in Blue might only play in the West Indies during the elimination stages, with all of their matches taking place in the USA; however, these reports are still being investigated.
If the India-Pakistan match is played under lights, it will be televised early in the morning on the subcontinent, something the concerned parties are attempting to prevent because it will negatively affect the viewership. If the game is played during the day in the USA, the subcontinent will broadcast the match in the evening, when viewership is at its highest.
Rev. Sportz claims that the ultimate objective is to promote cricket in the US, and the ICC is not skipping any ground. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has already approved Los Angeles to host cricket in 2028, so plans are well underway as the Indian Cricket Council (ICC) is developing a comprehensive strategy to promote cricket in the US. The governing body is expected to take significant steps, one of which is having India play all of their T20 World Cup matches domestically.
The article also states that by next week, the tournament schedule should be publicized. More information will be available once the ICC releases the schedule for the massive competition, which is set to start in early June. Ireland may be placed in the same group as Pakistan and India.
In the meantime, American cricket enthusiasts of Indian descent are many. With a lot of support from the local Indian supporters, the national team played a pair of Twenty20 international matches against the West Indies in the US earlier in the year. Because New York is hosting a blockbuster match, a large crowd is anticipated on the big day.
