India will finally begin their journey in the T20 World Cup 2024 on Wednesday (June 5) by going up against Ireland in Match 8 of the ongoing edition at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York.

This is the same ground where South Africa collided with Sri Lanka less than 24 hours ago, and everyone struggled to get going with the bat in hand. In fact, India too were in action lately, against Bangladesh in the warm-up game.

How will the pitch behave this time around? Will it be like how it was during the India versus Bangladesh game, or will it be how it was like the match between Sri Lanka and South Africa? Let's have a look at it.


Nassau County International Cricket Stadium New York Pitch Report

The pitch at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium seemed sluggish throughout the game between South Africa and Sri Lanka. To make matters worse, the outfield was extremely slow, which did not allow batters to break the shackles with perfectly timed shots.

Fast bowlers, who can rapidly hit the deck, can be influential here, just like how Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada reaped the rewards. In addition, batters, who are wristy, can make their mark, very similar to how Hardik Pandya had success the other day.

 Safe to say, if any batter tries to go hard from the get-go, the method should ideally not be worked out.
