Pakistan is set to take on Canada after consecutive losses against the United States and India in the T20 World Cup at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York on Tuesday. As disheartened fans around the world hope for Pakistan to win, all eyes are on the weather conditions expected to prevail during the game.
According to reports, cloud cover is anticipated throughout the day with a 15% chance of rain. Meanwhile, humidity levels are forecasted to range from 52% to 66%, adding an additional element of challenge for players on both sides.
Making its debut as an international T20 venue, the Nassau County Cricket Stadium has already established itself as a battleground where bowlers thrive and batsmen face formidable challenges.
With an average first innings total of 103 and a corresponding second innings average of 100, the pitch has proven to be a stern test for even the most seasoned players with teams batting second emerging victorious in two out of three matches played thus far.
Pakistan, on Sunday, failed to go over the line against India, who defended their 119 and won by six runs. On Monday, South Africa restricted Bangladesh to 109 after managing to only put up 113 on the board, yet still winning by four runs.
As anticipation mounts, cricket fans worldwide eagerly await the outcome of the unpredictable ground. Notably, the drop-in pitch, crafted from soil sourced from the iconic Adelaide Stadium in Australia, adds to the mystique of the venue.
The stadium promises an electrifying atmosphere as Pakistan and Canada prepare to clash on this unique cricketing stage. The match will begin at 7:30 pm PST.
