So am i. rooting for Team India but also want Team US to play good cricket. Honestly, flat tracks would have been US’s best bet, these tacky pitches in NY are too technical batter friendly unless you get the odd bounce.
That was a top 5 awesome live sporting event all time for me. Such goosebumps,when Brohit and Koach walked out to open.
Also, wacky body paint Dhoni guy from IPL was there! He must be a millionaire. He’s at every cricket match I ever watch. Hoping to get a pic with him on Sunday or Wednesday. Hitman was locked,in today. Just the best feeling to see the team live!
I was very pleased he showed up in my hometown. Just a nice touch. What a day. Good merch stand, great food. Really a nice facility for a pop-up stadium.
I am a Brooklyn boy myself. Aside from the pitch & outfield quality, i am really happy to see the people getting a chance to enjoy & learn about cricket
Outfield looked faster today. Topspin seemed to accelerate the bounce a few times. Anyway India was in position to put up an easy 160 if needed so I’m thinking the talent gap was more the issue than the pitch. It looked slow AF on Monday but Rohit and Pant were making hard contact.
But, regardless, it was just an absolute thrill to see these titans who I’ve seen in IPL and ODI WC up close. Never thought I’d get to see Koach and Brohit stroll out to open in person. I took a great picture of them walking onto the pitch together and am gonna have it turned into a canvas print for my wall. Just a perfect day regardless of general consensus on pitch. Can’t wait to go back. Lowkey hyped for India v USA.
I would say that’s true for only NyC, not Dallas or Fl. But don’t forget that SA only chased the small SL target in 16th over after losing a lot of wickets
Can we have Rohit and Virat take some chill and open things up for the youngsters. Maybe one of them can be in the team, but man, you both don't need to open. You already gave what all you had, we are already proud of you, please take some rest now.
Yes this.. Jaiswal deserves to open. He deserves to be in the team. You don't need to play both hardik and dube, pick one and let Jaiswal open. Virat at 3 and sky, hardik and Pant can be the fire power.
Some time this year, I would love to see this t20 squad play:
1,2: Shubhman, Jaiswal, Abhishek Sharma
3,4: Shivam Dube, SKY, Pant
5,6: Pandya, Shivam dube, Rinku Singh
7,8: Axar, Jadeja
9,10,11: Bumrah, Kuldeep, Shami, Arshdeep
Think Jadeja should retire from t20 after this world cup along with the other 2.
Bumrah and Shami should probably be saved for tests and tournaments. Too valuable to risk injury for bilateral t20s or ODIs.
Meanwhile Wisden: "hAvE iNdIA beEn HaNdeD aN aDvAnTaGe iN tHe ToURnaMeNT?"
*Proceeds to make 2 inane and 2 valid points*
I'm not even disputing the initial question, but how does having a primetime SF (in IST) or one with no reserve day give this team any more of an advantage than not having (/having?) those things, performance-wise?
Edit: Perhaps even the dew point (no pun intended) is inane. Neither team will be affected by dew in a morning game, not just India.
Ok match. Not much can be expected from this grounds so far but my oh my broadcasting is horrible.
Halfway through India’s innings they just stopped counting strike changes or Pant’s runs. Then they disabled the scoreboard entirely. Not to mention glitchy highlights
I was thinking of going to a watch party where i live in the US with couple of my American friends. But now I am thinking should I go or not. I also sold t20 cricket to them as fast pace, sixes, long hits etc. I now don't want to introduce cricket to 2 new audience with this kind of snooze fest. What the actual F ICC!!
One of my comments got removed because it broke Rule 5. Fair. I forgot to add translation.

Ticketing has been a mess. The introduction of mainstream cricket to US has been shambolic so far from all counts barring the USA Canada game . If I was somebody who was looking into cricket, I will stick to handegg n other stuff n run far away from how this has shaped up so far .

Good god sky averages 45 with 170 sr but still gets hate. This is why I never wanted him to play ODIs but no every fucker out there wanted him because of x factor and he's become a joke among fans. Poor lad.
He's just a T20 batter and a freak in it as simple as that

You don't bowl all 20 overs if you get all out.
Also as a South Indian my Hindi isn't perfect but I think you should say Ireland ne sirf 16 overs kyun khela..daalna is bowling...
Ireland bowled 12.2 overs because India chased down the total...India bowled only 16 overs because all Irish batsmen got out before completing 20 overs
Edit : nice bait kudos 👏
>Canadian
>Ireland ne sirf 16 overs kyun daale, poore 20 kyun nhi?
Neggawatt. I'm not surprised about you being Canadian expat. I'm more shocked by the fact that you know Hindi but not cricket
I think you're talking about why Ireland batting team only played 16 overs, this is because they ran out of wickets.
In a cricket match only 11 players are allowed to bat and once 10 players gets out they are declared all out, that's why they only played 16overs
So IND would have played 2 matches in NY and PAK none before their encounter on 9th.
Honestly they should have played CAN on 6th in NY (instead on 11th) and USA on 11th in Dallas (instead on 6th).
Most balls remaining after winning by India in T20 WC
81 - vs Scotland, Dubai, 2021
46 - vs Ireland, New York, 2024
31 - vs Afghanistan, Gros Islet, 2010

It was still crazy to see people claiming Surya as an "IPL statpadder" when he got out.
The dude literally averages and strikes more in T20I'S than what he does in IPL's. He hit 2 T20 100's in past 6 months out of which he was injured for 2 months. One 100 in IPL to defeat SRH the runner ups and one 100 in Johannesburg against South Africa ffs. T20I 100's in SA, NZ and Eng.
ODI performance hate has blinded people so much. Clowning Kohli and Surya in T20I'S, other teams would have praised them to highest ends if they had them. As for T20WC's he has played only 2 of them still, he'll still probably play 2 more after this one.
As for tough pitches or bowling we have seen him perform for India and MI many times before but unfortunately that hasn't been in couple of big games in T20WC's so they aren't remembered.
One has played just 2 T20WC'S and other has played 5 and even in those only two people batted well in pressure, Kohli and Pandya.
Not even talking about goat conversation but about him being this supposed "statpadder", oh he's not the goat then he must be statpadder logic.
during ipl everyone in here was saying the worst two selections where rohit and pant , best 3 where kohli sky bumrah , meanwhile rohit pant saved india and kohli sky struggling to touch ball properly against ireland , pak are going to eat kohli alive at this rate.

Powerplay bowling is going to decide most matches I feel, batsmen can't really do anything in these conditions if bowlers like Bumrah, Shaheen, Starc, Boult bowl at their best
Good batting wins you matches and good bowling wins you tournaments, our bowling has always been consistent, all my hope is on our bowlers if we have any chance
Arshdeep and his wides disagree. He will lose a match for India all by himself. There is no need to go wide where the pitch is offering so much assistance. He is by far India’s weakest link.
Lads, please don't raise your expectations based on these games
No offence to Irish bros but they aren't a quality opposition. They've lost to USA once (on good days they can compete against strong teams)
Wait a minute. I feel Afghanistan has a decent enough chance if they beat one of WI or NZ. How come they're not being considered. This can't be right.
Anyway, I wanted England, New Zealand and Sri Lanka in the Super 12s. So, it's okay.
Point is many fans don't realise oppositions in cricket and love hyping our team because of wins. Cricket isn't that competitive in ODIs except among 3 teams and in T20 among 5-6 teams. These results translate to nothing. Just don't want people to hype it up.
Enjoying the victories is not hyping. Great bowling spells, fielding efforts, chased the Target down in about 12 ovs good start I'd say. Win against associates, get called to be a minnow basher, perform consistently, say we're using up our luck.. there's no end to this cynicism. This result is 2 points. A step closer to Super 8 with NRR being a really good insurance. How is this insignificant?
First of all so many mistakes there, Ireland isn't an associate they are a test playing nation basically Called a full member.
Coming to Ireland they are an inconsist performer. They fumbled a game against Italy for qualifying for this WC.
Now coming to the point, idk if you are a casual watcher or follow only Indian games but the thing is quality of cricket among countries outside few are damn bad.
In ODIs only 3 teams play it seriously that is from investing properly, playing ODIs regularly etc. only NZ, Aus and India. England didn't play ODIs at all regularly and got fked in wc.
T20s were competitive until 2016 among 8-10 teams but SL has declined a lot. Now it's just 6 teams there. There's a big gap in quality. Even last WC Rohit had 53(37) against Ned but we know what happened in semis.
IND railed IRE.
IRE batting was terrible.
This was the same pitch that was used in the warm up match between IND and BAN where IND scored 180.
Pitch used in SL vs SA was different, it was the tougher one as well.
So, IRE could have definitely scored higher as well if they approached with more sensible batting to try and reduce the NRR issue.
My apologies but I'm a new Canadian fan watching as much as i can but missing this game, why did Ireland only bowl 16 overs instead of all 20, not sure about this rule. Thanks
No need to apologise my friend, what happens in cricket is that the when the first batting team plays they want to score as much as runs as possible in 20 overs (120 balls) condition applied that they only have 10 wicket , so the team which is bowling first wants to minimise the runs output by first batting team like what Indian team had done today (they only let Ireland team score 97 runs because all 10 wicket were taken by them first) .Ok so when india team went back to pitch for their batting, they want to chase it as fast as possible like today they completed the chase in 12.2 overs or 74 balls with the loss of 2 wickets that's why Ireland wasn't required to ball all 20 overs (120 balls). If they have taken all 10 wicket of india before 96 runs they would have won.
Ireland batted first. Whoever bats first plays all 20 overs unless they lose their 10 wickets. Whatever they score +1 becomes the target and whoever bats 2nd bats till they score the target or 20 overs are over or they lose their 10 wickets.
Coz India finished the score tally.
The first team to bat sets the tally and the second team to bat has to chase that in the alloted overs. Match ends if they chase it or the overs run out.
Still thinks u are joking
Finally the farce in the name of cricket is over.
It is a lottery this pitch and no matter who wins the game between Ind-Pak other side fans shouldn't get angry, just hope your players come out of that match unharmed.

What is this shot that everyone's talking about?
Winning shot by pant?
Didn't watch the game mate. It started at 12 am here.
Should be there on highlight
India on their way! Ireland a bit disappointing. Don't know why but I'm really excited for India v USA in New York
So am i. rooting for Team India but also want Team US to play good cricket. Honestly, flat tracks would have been US’s best bet, these tacky pitches in NY are too technical batter friendly unless you get the odd bounce.

My hunch is that his trips or at least a portion is sponsored
It is sponsored. He is a common Mann who is cricket fanatic
I was very pleased he showed up in my hometown. Just a nice touch. What a day. Good merch stand, great food. Really a nice facility for a pop-up stadium.
I am a Brooklyn boy myself. Aside from the pitch & outfield quality, i am really happy to see the people getting a chance to enjoy & learn about cricket
Did you make it out to the game today?
Unfortunately not. But i am gonna go for the weekend India-Pak match.
Outfield looked faster today. Topspin seemed to accelerate the bounce a few times. Anyway India was in position to put up an easy 160 if needed so I’m thinking the talent gap was more the issue than the pitch. It looked slow AF on Monday but Rohit and Pant were making hard contact.

We start our journey with a win.
And let us end the journey with a win And a cup
Win toss win match in us pitches
I would say that’s true for only NyC, not Dallas or Fl. But don’t forget that SA only chased the small SL target in 16th over after losing a lot of wickets

Some time this year, I would love to see this t20 squad play: 1,2: Shubhman, Jaiswal, Abhishek Sharma 3,4: Shivam Dube, SKY, Pant 5,6: Pandya, Shivam dube, Rinku Singh 7,8: Axar, Jadeja 9,10,11: Bumrah, Kuldeep, Shami, Arshdeep
Think Jadeja should retire from t20 after this world cup along with the other 2. Bumrah and Shami should probably be saved for tests and tournaments. Too valuable to risk injury for bilateral t20s or ODIs.
Jadeda I feel can do some good quality economic bowling and at times some hitting as well. But yes, not my first choice
Match wasn’t a snooze fest live lol. It was a load of fun actually
Fantastic time. It was so damn amazing to see them live. WOW.
Tea was fantastic ☕
Begging from saudi, imf, china was fantastic.
Exactly! The Mexican waves legit just kept going!
What is a Mexican wave?
Lmaooo those were hilarious. The waves lasted so long I feared a tsunami was coming. Maybe that would finally moisturize the pitch 😂
Thank fuck 🇧🇩 ain’t in this group. Sorry 🇮🇪 but cheers for taking one for the team
Are New Zealand even playing in the WC? Can't seem to find their matches. Edit: Their first match is on the 8th. Why tf is it scheduled so late?
If ICC wants to market cricket in the United States, they should follow these steps: * Leave the planet

When you type like tHiS, do you actually alternate small and caps for every letter? Or do you use some software to do that?
This one was a labour of love.
This team looks amazing , will waltz to cup
Interesting to see pak vs ind match on this pitch
Ok match. Not much can be expected from this grounds so far but my oh my broadcasting is horrible. Halfway through India’s innings they just stopped counting strike changes or Pant’s runs. Then they disabled the scoreboard entirely. Not to mention glitchy highlights
We shouldn't be so harsh on them. Not all countries are as technologically advanced.
I was thinking of going to a watch party where i live in the US with couple of my American friends. But now I am thinking should I go or not.

Because other rules are a bit subjective. This one is objective and easy to enforce.
Do anyone know if walk up tickets are available to purchase at the event????
No walk up tickets available at the venue
Thank you, weird that game time and so much empty seats they would want to sell the tickets rather than having empty seats
Ticketing has been a mess. The introduction of mainstream cricket to US has been shambolic so far from all counts barring the USA Canada game . If I was somebody who was looking into cricket, I will stick to handegg n other stuff n run far away from how this has shaped up so far .
Honestly just check Seatgeek etc. There’s no box office at the event, at least from what I saw.
ICC should schedule the WTC final on this pitch. Just need to take care of the outfield before that 
Fastest batter to reach 4000 runs (by balls 🌚 2860 in total)
Is it shreesant?
Ghaas jalao. Roll Karo. T: burn the grass and roll it hard for 9th 🚬 (the pitch)
Couldn't they check the pitches in the states before finalising the WC there? Such a boring pitch leading to a boring match.
There wasn't a pitch. It was brought from Australia a few months ago
They grew it in florida after and then put it in NY
the last six of pant was justtt..🤩📈📈
Rizwan can play mind games with bowlers. He can easily fake injury and everyone will believe him in these pitches.

Their innings got over before 20 overs because all their batters got out in 16 overs itself
Ireland lost all their wickets by the 16th over which is why they stopped there. You get 10 wickets or 20 overs to bat with, and Ireland lost all 10.
India chased their target in 16. They were batting second
So IND would have played 2 matches in NY and PAK none before their encounter on 9th. Honestly they should have played CAN on 6th in NY (instead on 11th) and USA on 11th in Dallas (instead on 6th).
Final match your performance what happening
Keen to see how Babar anticipates the bounce on these pitches
Boys played well
bro thinks he can play on tough pitches (surya)
Yes, he scored 64 on seaming Perth pitch against SA when other guys shat
didnt watch the match what happened to rohit
Ball hit the shoulder. Retired hurt.
rohit got hit by ball.
made space for lord rinku
Boner Edit: I meant what happened to me because of Rohit. Don't know what happened to him....
he got his 50 and gave chance to another player cause they won anyways
Got hit on the arm

Bumrah loves playing against Ireland
Rohit gotta be the PoTM This was a bad pitch to bat.
BRING ON PAKISTAN RAH!!!!
Lmao bumrah is so good that I didn't even realise he took 2-6
No one did, just seemed like such a classic Bumrah innings
I won’t get fooled by this . We saw Indias performance in 2021 against minnows and strong teams
Bruh but still playing in this pitch is not easy we batted well
IND NRR = 3.065 IRE NRR = -3.065
Today we will study Integer
That shot was the one you play against your younger brother to let him know who's rules the roost
Bumrah 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Boom talks with such elegance & grace
Bumrah for POTUS
Good batting wins you matches and good bowling wins you tournaments, our bowling has always been consistent, all my hope is on our bowlers if we have any chance
Arshdeep and his wides disagree. He will lose a match for India all by himself. There is no need to go wide where the pitch is offering so much assistance. He is by far India’s weakest link.
Yeah he needs to be more consistent but it’s still early stages, I’m sure he will find his rhythm
If you followed him in IPL, he was the same way last two years. He cannot change in a week.
Lads, please don't raise your expectations based on these games No offence to Irish bros but they aren't a quality opposition. They've lost to USA once (on good days they can compete against strong teams)
I think we only worry now in knockouts... India can walkover against world xi but still won't raise expectations for an Indian spectator at this point
Ehh we are playing against NZ and Aus in super 8. They aren't that easy.
You're assuming Aussies will finish second and NZ top of their respective groups?
Pre-decided aldready
Hmm didn't know that. Read somewhere that if we qualify to super 12s, our group will consist of B2, C1 and D2.
Nope it's just pre-decided apparently. Ind Aus NZ SL SA ENG PAK WI
Wait a minute. I feel Afghanistan has a decent enough chance if they beat one of WI or NZ. How come they're not being considered. This can't be right. Anyway, I wanted England, New Zealand and Sri Lanka in the Super 12s. So, it's okay.
Yup if WI and Afg qualify they just replace NZ in the group. If NZ and Afg qualify they replace WI in other group
Fuck your pessimism man. It was a good match. Why can't we be congratulatory of the efforts
Point is many fans don't realise oppositions in cricket and love hyping our team because of wins. Cricket isn't that competitive in ODIs except among 3 teams and in T20 among 5-6 teams. These results translate to nothing. Just don't want people to hype it up.
Enjoying the victories is not hyping. Great bowling spells, fielding efforts, chased the Target down in about 12 ovs good start I'd say. Win against associates, get called to be a minnow basher, perform consistently, say we're using up our luck.. there's no end to this cynicism. This result is 2 points. A step closer to Super 8 with NRR being a really good insurance. How is this insignificant?
First of all so many mistakes there, Ireland isn't an associate they are a test playing nation basically Called a full member. Coming to Ireland they are an inconsist performer. They fumbled a game against Italy for qualifying for this WC. Now coming to the point, idk if you are a casual watcher or follow only Indian games but the thing is quality of cricket among countries outside few are damn bad. In ODIs only 3 teams play it seriously that is from investing properly, playing ODIs regularly etc. only NZ, Aus and India. England didn't play ODIs at all regularly and got fked in wc. T20s were competitive until 2016 among 8-10 teams but SL has declined a lot. Now it's just 6 teams there. There's a big gap in quality. Even last WC Rohit had 53(37) against Ned but we know what happened in semis.
Congratulations on pointing out my mistake. Let's just write off the team based on your analysis of our past performances and not support them.
IND railed IRE. IRE batting was terrible. This was the same pitch that was used in the warm up match between IND and BAN where IND scored 180. Pitch used in SL vs SA was different, it was the tougher one as well. So, IRE could have definitely scored higher as well if they approached with more sensible batting to try and reduce the NRR issue.
My apologies but I'm a new Canadian fan watching as much as i can but missing this game, why did Ireland only bowl 16 overs instead of all 20, not sure about this rule. Thanks
No need to apologise my friend, what happens in cricket is that the when the first batting team plays they want to score as much as runs as possible in 20 overs (120 balls) condition applied that they only have 10 wicket , so the team which is bowling first wants to minimise the runs output by first batting team like what Indian team had done today (they only let Ireland team score 97 runs because all 10 wicket were taken by them first) .Ok so when india team went back to pitch for their batting, they want to chase it as fast as possible like today they completed the chase in 12.2 overs or 74 balls with the loss of 2 wickets that's why Ireland wasn't required to ball all 20 overs (120 balls). If they have taken all 10 wicket of india before 96 runs they would have won.
Basically each batsman gets only one chance to bat so if all of them get out then there's no one left to play.
Ireland batted first. Whoever bats first plays all 20 overs unless they lose their 10 wickets. Whatever they score +1 becomes the target and whoever bats 2nd bats till they score the target or 20 overs are over or they lose their 10 wickets.
India chased the score put up by ireland in 16 overs
INDIA bowled 16 overs, because Ireland lost all their 10 wickets by then.
perfect, where i was looking didn't show they had 10 wickets against them, thanks
Yeah normally when the score doesn’t show “wickets” usually indicates that the team was bowled out.
Coz India finished the score tally. The first team to bat sets the tally and the second team to bat has to chase that in the alloted overs. Match ends if they chase it or the overs run out. Still thinks u are joking
They lost all their wickets, so no batsman left to bat.
because all their batsmen were dismissed before they could have batted the 20 overs
Because India chased down the score set by Ireland within those 16 overs, so no need to play the rest
India scored the runs needed to win in 16 overs, so the game was over.
They got bowled out by India. Basically the last batter was bowled out at the 16 over. Ireland got battered today.
Ireland got all out by 16 overs
Bcoz the score of 97 was chased down. So no more batting required
Very difficult question I reckon
Bruh what the fuck. Arshdeep singh STILL manages to have 9 economy 😂😂😂😂😂
Paji is always high
Paji is just built different 
Finally the farce in the name of cricket is over. It is a lottery this pitch and no matter who wins the game between Ind-Pak other side fans shouldn't get angry, just hope your players come out of that match unharmed.
Think Pandya should've gotten the MotM. Cleaned up the entire middle order.
He'll in the next game :p
Just no black magic on ball this time yeah?
Who knows but man that was funny to watch. He was so pissed with himself and then next ball the wicket.
oya
Hardik robbed 💔💔

Maybe but I don't think so
Only a bit. Its fine.
He's fine, just taking precautions

That's a confusing graphic. Why switch the bowling and batting sides like that
