Pitch Report

The wicket at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium is quite challenging for a T20 match. The pitch is two-paced, has variable bounce, and is very difficult for stroke-making. The outfield is also slow, making it difficult for batters to find runs.

Player Picks

9
C

Virat Kohli IND | BAT

Virat Kohli will continue to be the backbone of the Indian batting unit. He had a stellar IPL campaign and will look to dominate the World Cup as well.

9
C

Jasprit Bumrah IND | BOWL

Jasprit Bumrah is a match-winner in any condition and the New York pitch will certainly help him bring out his best. Facing the right-arm pacer is expected to be quite a challenge for the Irish batters.

9
C

Rohit Sharma IND | BAT

Rohit Sharma is a different player when it comes to T20 internationals. He aims to lead the team from the front with a blazing start in the powerplay.

8

Curtis Campher IRE | ALL

Curtis Campher is the key all-rounder for the Irish team. In the last three matches, Campher has scored 63 runs. He is also a handy bowler, who can trouble the Indian top order with his left-arm pace deliveries.

9

Hardik Pandya IND | ALL

Hardik Pandya scored an unbeaten 40 off 23 balls, including two fours and four sixes, in the warm-up game. He also took one wicket in three overs even though conceding an economy of 10.

9

Suryakumar Yadav IND | BAT

No T20 team can avoid Suryakumar Yadav. The right-hander is currently the best T20 batter in the world. His ability to score quickly with unorthodox shots will swing the game in India's favour.

8.5

Harry Tector IRE | BAT

Harry Tector is the most reliable middle-order batter in the Irish line-up. He is currently ranked fifth in the ICC Men's ODI rankings. He has the temperament to play sensibly at the start and pick up the pace as the game progresses.

9

Ravindra Jadeja IND | ALL

Ravindra Jadeja is one of the main assets in the Indian team setup. He can contribute well with bat, ball and fielding. The left-arm spinner is expected have an effective outing in the slow pitches.

8.5

Andy Balbirnie IRE | BAT

The Irish opener scored 128 runs at an average of 42.67 in three matches against Pakistan. He is someone who can give an aggressive start and eventually score big runs.

7.5

Yashasvi Jaiswal

IND | BAT

Yashasvi Jaiswal had a topsy-turvy campaign in IPL 2024. Not sure how the youngster will cope with the pressure of the big game, that too on a tricky surface.

7.5

Paul Stirling

IRE | BAT

The Irish captain endured a poor outing in the recently concluded T20I series against Pakistan. He seems to have lost his rhythm and could suffer another terrible outing on New York's slow pitch.
