The highly-anticipated India versus Pakistan clash in the 2024 T20 World Cup lived up to its billing as the two teams fought tooth and nail in front of 34,000 enthusiastic fans at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, June 9.

ICC’s move to bring cricket to the USA is paying rich dividends as the sport is gradually growing in the sports-loving nation. The performance of the USA national team in the competition is serving as icing on the cake as Monank Patel’s men have registered back-to-back wins and are in contention of securing Super Eight qualification in their maiden T20 World Cup appearance. However, a popular newspaper’s report of the India versus Pakistan clash will accentuate the fact that cricket still has a lot of ground to make in the United States.
