India vs USA hourly weather report: How rain could impact iconic 2024 T20 World Cup clash

As India prepare to take on the United States of America in a special Group A clash of the 2024 T20 World Cup, the threat of rain remains in the contest. Most of the New York games had the threat of rain hanging in the sky, even the Pakistan vs India game was delayed a little due to the extreme weather conditions at the venue. Even as India and the US prepare for the clash, rain may have a role to play in the contest, although the threat of devastation is not likely.

According to Accuweather, there is about a 25% chance of rain at New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday. During game time, however, the probability of rain remains just 7%.

India’s batting prima donnas would like to free themselves from the vagaries of a much-maligned track and risk their guns freely against the impressive but inexperienced USA in their T20 World Cup group league game here on Wednesday.

India, ranked A1 (regardless of points), need just one more win to secure their place in the Super Eight and despite the ambiguous nature of the Nassau County track, would not want a repeat of the match against Pakistan where they they lost their last seven wickets for 28 runs.

Against the US, the approach could be high risk, like Pakistan, but perhaps with higher dividends.

Their dreams of wearing the Indian blues remained unfulfilled, but when a merry group of Indian-Americans take the field against their home country, the likes of Saurabh Netravalkars and Harmeet Singhs would like to once again be the proverbial David against the game’s Goliaths. .

Although the track has significantly closed the gap between the teams, the USA, who are an eclectic mix of eight Indians, two Pakistanis, one West Indian, one New Zealander, one South African and one Dutchman, may find the gulf with India too much. . to make a bridge.
