New York's Nassau County International Cricket Stadium will host some exciting matches at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. This new stadium aims to address the shortage of top-class cricket venues in the United States. Find out what you can expect from the pitch and conditions at this unique stadium.
Nassau County Stadium: Pitch Report
No matches have been played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium yet so it's difficult to predict how the pitch will perform exactly, but we can make some guesses based on the drop-in pitches that are in use.
The pitch soil is imported from Adelaide, Australia. Since New York and Adelaide have similar coastal climates, the Nassau County Stadium pitch is expected to have similar conditions to the Adelaide pitch. This means we can expect a flat, bouncy track that is good for batting. Spinners might also get some help as it will provide a well-balanced playing field.
