The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be played in the United States and West Indies in the summer of 2024 where 20 teams will go head-to-head for the trophy.
20 qualifying teams will be divided into four groups of five, from which the top two teams of every group will make their way to the Super 8 round. In that stage, qualifying teams will once again be divided into two groups of four, from which top two teams will make their way to the semi-final and then the winners will play the final.
Call it the Champions Trophy or the 50-over World Cup, any mega event is incomplete without Pakistan and India having a face-off as it is considered the biggest rivalry in the cricketing world.
Similarly, the two will go head-to-head for one more time in the T20 World Cup 2024.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) will soon reveal the venue for the much-anticipated encounter between the arch-rivals, reported Cricbuzz on Wednesday.
The venue is expected to be built near to Long Island, some 30 miles east of Manhattan in Eisenhower Park, New York.
The announcement will soon be made once negotiations between ICC and the New York City officials are finalised.
The initial plan was to build the ground in the Bronx but, after facing some serious opposition from the citizens near the park and one of the cricket leagues that is based out of the same park, ICC backed off.
It must be noted that Pakistan’s last meeting with India in an ICC event was at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in the T20 World Cup 2022 where Virat Kohli played one of the most memorable innings as he guided the struggling Blues’ side to a win.
Before that, the two met at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the T20 World Cup 2021 where the Babar Azam-led Pakistan registered their first-ever win against India in an ICC event as the Green Shirts recorded a breathtaking ten-wicket win.
