This match could draw the largest-ever attendance to any cricket game ever, potentially bringing in easily half a billion people watching, as reported by Shiny Side Cricket Podcast host Tim Lawler.
Since 1947, India and Pakistan have shared both a border and culture but have engaged in three wars between themselves; their tensions often manifest themselves in cricket matches between the two.
India vs. Pakistan
India and Pakistan will clash in an exciting Group A match of the T20 World Cup at New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, with Farees Shah of Shiny Side Cricket podcast predicting that an estimated global audience could witness it: “Easily half a billion people could watch.”
Though both countries have engaged in multiple wars and enforce trade and travel restrictions, they share culture and history – as well as an affinity for cricket! An analysis from Anderson Economic Analysis LLC predicts that this year’s game between India and Pakistan should bring in over $78 million for New York region alone; additionally, South Asian American fans will finally get to witness their rivalry right in their backyard with thousands expected to turn out at Long Island stadium for this showdown.
No matter the political tension between both countries, many fans are eagerly awaiting this matchup. Avro Mukerji of Gurgaon in India has been following India-Pakistan rivalry for more than 25 years and believes it has more significance than simply sporting event: it can serve as an avenue to discuss long-standing tensions between them.
As Pakistan began batting, the atmosphere was somewhat subdued; however, once Pakistan lost their first wicket and survived a review, crowd cheers echoed throughout. Over time, India gained momentum until they reached their target; then supporters celebrated. One man near me waved goodbye as he sang and danced while waving off Pakistan with songs in hand.
Both teams boast talented squads of players and the match should be close. India are unlikely to change up their XI that defeated Ireland but may add Kuldeep Yadav for added bowling threat. Meanwhile, Pakistan coach Kirsten avoided answering any queries regarding his team’s lineup; however he hinted that experienced all-rounder Wasim may replace Azam Khan who has struggled recently.
ICC T20 World Cup
The ICC T20 World Cup, held every two years since 2007, is an prestigious tournament that India, England and West Indies have each won two times since 2007. In 2019, both USA and West Indies are hosting this tournament, and its final will take place on June 29th.
India will be an overwhelming favorite in this tournament. They currently rank number one worldwide in T20 cricket and won its previous edition. Captain Rohit Sharma is widely considered one of the finest T20 batsmen while compatriot Virat Kohli can also deliver tremendous hitting displays during competitions.
Indian cricket’s star players lead an impressive lineup, yet its depth remains remarkable. Gautam Gambhir provides batting depth while Fakhar Zaman shows great promise as a youngster. Meanwhile, experienced bowlers like RP Singh and Jasprit Bumrah dominate in bowling duties.
Pakistan will look to make an impressionful statement at this tournament. They reached the final in 2022, are currently fifth-ranked globally and won their last T20 World Cup victory against Sri Lanka in 2009. Tillakaratne Dilshan led run scoring while Umar Gul led wicket taking during that competition.
The tournament’s format will feature a round-robin stage, followed by Super Eights and semifinals. The top two from each group will move forward into semi-finals; winners of those games will qualify for final.
