T20 World Cup 2024: Match 19, IND vs PAK Match Preview: Head to Head records, pitch report and more
.India will take on Pakistan in Match 19 at the Nassau County Stadium in New York on June 9.
After 21 Lunar months when Virat Kohli lofted Haris Rauf straight down the ground in what was an equilibrioception-defying shot, India (IND) and Pakistan (PAK) will take over the social media trend, Television Rating Points, and lucrative front pages of newspapers as they clash on June 9. The arch-rivals will make the newly built Nassau Cricket County Stadium in New York immortal as T20 World Cup 2024 will witness its much-anticipated clash.
India gave a different dimension to the rivalry as the golden hour in Johannesburg acted as the camera flash for the tricolour waved across the stadium in the Finals. After 15 years, 6,431 miles afar, from subtropical conditions to the driest of all inhabited continents, they met again at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia. Just when the green seemed to overshadow the blue at the 'G', am argus-eyed, tramp stamp-armed, the Lapis Lazuli jersey drenched in sweat coerced the hush-fall crowd and provided India another reason to remember the name Virat Kohli.
Things have changed. India lost the World Cup 2023 at home, and Pakistan were subjected to sue of changes in the board and leadership. India were termed as the team that succumb to pressure and Pakistan maintained their unpredictable tag.

Approximately, a 9-hour distance from the Appalachian Mountains, the Asian giants will lock horns for the glory that is tangible and inflexible at the same time. While India have dominated Ireland in their first game, Pakistan will try offering a pacifier for their fans to avoid SIDS by winning the game. The Men-in-Green had the minnows, United States of America, grab them by the neck in their first game. Grappling for a breath of fresh air, they will challenge the mighty Indians with shaky legs marching the hallowed Nassau Stadium.
Pitch Report:
The Nassau pitch has been a hot topic ever since its first game in the World Cup. The ground beneath the grass is fragile. The 22-yard strip is spongy, with wind aiding the pacers in procuring the swing for almost 200 balls. Spinners have little help with no turn at their disposal. Batters need a psychological stopwatch to time their shots with perfection, as the bounce can vary. There’s a 60 percent chance of rain, and fans will hope the game to hold good meanwhile.
