New York’s hourly weather forecast shows rain chances increasing after 1:00 PM, but the T20 World Cup match between India and Ireland is expected to finish before it becomes a serious concern. The Indian cricket team is starting its campaign with a tough challenge against Ireland in the opening clash of the tournament. While India is in a relatively easier group, they still have to overcome some challenges to qualify for the Super 8 stage.
The Nassau County ground is predicted to provide some assistance to both batters and bowlers, with drop-in pitches being used for the T20 World Cup. It is uncertain how the pitch will behave, but scores in the range of 170-180 are expected, rather than the high totals seen in recent IPL matches. The Indian team needs to be prepared for any conditions they may face on the field and adapt their game accordingly.
