The match between India and Ireland is to be played at this stadium on 5th June.
Former player Sanjay Manjrekar believes that the drop-in pitch of New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium needs to be rolled as much as possible. This will make the pitch even better and the outfield will also be a little faster.
Let us tell you, in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, a great match was played between South Africa and Sri Lanka on this ground on 3 June. South Africa won this match by 6 wickets. This match was low-scoring and the batsmen had to face a lot of problems here. Batting first, Sri Lanka scored 77 runs after losing all the wickets and in response, South Africa also took 16.2 overs to chase the target of 78 runs.
Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Sanjay Manjrekar said, ‘I am having a little problem here because how will the ICC change the pitch here? It is not that it is not fully ready. However, they need to work harder to make an international standard and good T20 pitch. I think they will have to roll this pitch as much as possible.
The outfield is very bad here. We saw this in the South Africa vs Sri Lanka match. The batsmen had a lot of trouble. I think the pitch can be a little better but the problem is that the outfield is very slow. ICC needs to work here.
India vs Ireland match will also be played at this venue
Let us tell you, a match is to be played between India and Ireland on June 5 at this stadium. This match is going to be great and the Indian team will definitely want to win it.
However, they may also have to face a lot of problems here. Bowlers have a lot of help on this pitch but if the batsmen want to score runs, they will have to bat with patience.
