New Delhi, As the T20 World Cup 2024 progresses, the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York is also becoming a topic of discussion. This is also natural because the great cricket event is being held in America for the first time and despite this, leave aside high scoring matches, no one has been able to give even an average target of 150 runs. Five matches have been played in New York so far. Pakistan's team will play a do or die match against Canada on the same pitch on Tuesday. What Canada has done here, teams like India, Pakistan and South Africa could not do.
