In an unfortunate news for cricket fans on Sunday, rain has arrived at New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, where India will take on their arch-rivals Pakistan in a much-anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 clash.

The covers are on, and there might be a delayed start, if it does not get washed out, due to wet outfield and inclement weather conditions.

To make matters worse, the rain has got heavier at the time of writing this (7:09 PM IST), and the entire ground has now been covered.

There were drizzles before the start of the game, as it was earlier predicted. However, over time, it got heavier, leading the groundstaff to cover the entire ground.

It will be interesting to see how the drainage system works in New York once the rain stops. Of course, the stadium has not faced these kinds of challenges before, and the focus will be on how they can make the ground ready for two of the biggest rivals in the sport going head-to-head.

Placed in Group A, India began the tournament with a thumping win over Ireland. On the other hand, Pakistan suffered a heartbreaking loss at the hands of the co-hosts USA, where India-born Saurabh Netravalkar turned out to be a hero.
