The eagerly awaited marquee game, expected to draw the largest crowd of the tournament thus far, will be held at the newly constructed 34,000-seat modular stadium at Eisenhower Park on the outskirts of the city.

Digital Desk: Shaheen Shah Afridi, the known fast bowler and former captain of Pakistan, found himself surrounded by enthusiastic Indian cricket fans in New York who were eager to capture a moment with the superstar from across the border. This interaction occurred ahead of the much-anticipated Group A match between Pakistan and India, scheduled to be held at Nassau County International Stadium on June 9, as part of the ICC T20 World Cup.

A contingent of devoted fans, who had traveled all the way from Vancouver, Canada, specifically for this high-profile clash, engaged in light-hearted banter with Afridi, playfully urging him to take it easy on the Indian batters during their impending showdown on Sunday.

One fan exclaimed, "Specially Vancouver se aaye hai match dekhne (we have come from Vancouver to watch the match). Achi bowling nahi karni hai (don't bowl well vs India)," eliciting laughter from everyone present. Another fan in the group joked, "Rohit and Virat ko apne ache dost samjho (think of Rohit and Virat as your friends)."



The eagerly awaited marquee game, expected to draw the largest crowd of the tournament thus far, will be held at the newly constructed 34,000-seat modular stadium at Eisenhower Park on the outskirts of the city.

Team India enters the contest fresh off a convincing victory against Ireland in their first Group A match, while Pakistan suffered a humiliating defeat in a Super Over against co-hosts USA in their opening clash.
