Pitch controversy in T20 World Cup, is the India-Pak match moving from New York?

Ever since the India-Ireland match, the pitch in New York has been criticized. There will be an India-Pakistan match. But despite criticism of the pitch, the ICC has no plans to remove the match from it. The T20 World Cup is being played on a drop-in pitch in America. That is, a pitch that is installed from outside. Usually, the pitch of the cricket field is made of the soil of that area. But the American pitch was brought in from Adelaide, Australia. Rohit Sharma does not understand the character of that pitch.

The Indian captain raised questions about the pitch after the match on Wednesday. That said, there are no plans to move the match to New York. According to a BBC report, the Indian team is disappointed with the pitch. They said that privately. But Sunday’s match will not be moved from New York. The ICC is already discussing the previous match statistics. But the match will not be moved from New York to Florida or Texas. There is no drop in pitch, though. However, the India-Pakistan match in New York will be played on a new pitch.

The stadium in New York has been built for the T20 World Cup. The field was made with grass and pitch from Australia. The field was prepared a few weeks before the start of the competition. Created by Australian pitchmaker Damian Hough. All eyes will be on what will happen on the day of the India-Pakistan match.
