- The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, a temporary but significant venue situated in Eisenhower Park, Long Island, New York, is scheduled to be dismantled on Friday, June 14, after hosting eight games of the ongoing T20 World Cup. Built-in just five months, the final game played at the stadium was India’s Group A match against co-hosts USA on Wednesday. A viral video shows bulldozers parked outside the stadium, ready to destroy the temporary venue.
- The top-notch turf and facilities will remain available to local cricket clubs and spectators even after the stadium’s modular components are disassembled and repurposed.
- This will serve to increase the sport’s appeal in the area and offer a stage for the rising talent in the area. But the unforgettable India vs. Pakistan match will always be associated with the Nassau County International Stadium.
- On Wednesday, India defeated the United States by seven wickets to advance to the T20 World Cup Super 8 round. Suryakumar Yadav struck an undefeated half-century, and left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh recorded a career-best 4-9.
- Suryakumar (50) and Shivam Dube (31) put on an unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 67 to earn a third win in three games for Rohit Sharma’s team with 10 balls remaining. India was rattled at 15-2 and then 44-3 before needing 111 to win the Group A match.
- Despite the loss, the United States still has a good chance of joining India in the Super Eights since they have four points while both Pakistan and Canada have one game remaining.
- Both sides entered the match with a perfect four points from two victories, with the USA having just defeated Pakistan in a historic Super Over victory.
- You can only listen to the newest music on JioSaavn.com.
- India is one of the three teams that have already secured their spots in the next round, along with South Africa and Australia.
