India vs Pakan Match Today, T20 World Cup: Will rain play spoilsport in New York? | Cricket News
India vs Pakan Match Today, New York Weather Report: The highly-anticipated clash between India and Pakan in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup might face a rain threat on Sunday. Rohit Sharma-led India will take on Babar Azam’s Pakan at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on June 9.
According to AccuWeather.com, the New York City is expected to begin Sunday morning with overcast skies with only a 9 per cent chance of rainfall at 7 AM local time. The chances of rainfall increase after 11 AM local time, with chances of thunderstorms from noon local time.
It would be interesting to see how many overs the fans will get to see. Ahead of the tournament, USA Cricket chairman Venu Pisike had claimed great excitement and anticipation in the country around the India-Pakan game in the T20 World Cup.
“In terms of demand, it was huge. I think when ICC advertised for ticket regration, nearly 2 million requests just came for the India-Pakan game. Unfortunately, it’s hard to accommodate everyone,” Pisike had told The Indian Express.
What will happen if the India vs Pakan match will be washed out?
A washout will give a lifeline to Pakan, who lost their first match against the USA. Both India and Pakan will share a point if the game gets abandoned.

India vs Pakan Pitch Report
The New York pitch is causing consternation. The ICC have said they have men working hard to change the nature of the drop-in surfaces after first-inning scores of 77, 96 and 137. Aside from heavy watering, which will only make for a slower surface, there is very little that can be done at this stage to change a wicket. Runs will be short again. Anything over 150 will be a match-winning total.
