The highly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan in the 2024 T20 World Cup is set to occur in a temporary stadium on the outskirts of New York. The International Cricket Council (ICC) and local organizing committees are in the process of finalizing the full schedule, which involves 10 teams playing their initial group-stage matches in the USA, co-hosted with the West Indies, aiming to engage the substantial cricket-loving expat communities in America.
While the schedule may see some adjustments, England and Australia are expected to play all their group games in the Caribbean. England's matches, both in the initial five-team group and, if they progress, in the Super 8 round, will be held in popular British tourist destinations such as Antigua, Barbados, and St Lucia.
Australia, on the other hand, is scheduled to play at various venues in St Vincent, Guyana, and Trinidad.
Recent inspections by ICC officials found that Caribbean venues require some improvements and expansions, but there are no major issues. The likely location for the final is Barbados, a previous host of the 2007 50-over World Cup and the 2010 T20 event.
