The 8th match of T20 World Cup 2024 is being played between India and Ireland. This match will be played at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York which is a brand new stadium. Not many matches have been played in this stadium so far. And that is why it becomes difficult to say anything about the pitch here.
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York used a drop-in pitch, which means that it was a pitch that was made somewhere else and then installed in the stadium. Actually, the soil of Adelaide, Australia has been used for the pitch here. The pitches in Australia have a good bounce, which is why the pitch of the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, which is made of clay, also showed bounce. Due to which the batsmen faced a lot of trouble. Apart from this, the pitch and outfield also looked slow.
