The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the establishment of a fan park at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium for fans to enjoy the highly-anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 match between India and Pakistan, despite being 11,000 kilometers away from the actual match in New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
This initiative will allow fans to experience the game’s intensity and support the Green Shirts via a big screen at the Rawalpindi stadium on June 9.
The match between the arch-rivals will be shown at 10 different fan parks, including Cedar Creek Park in Seaford, New York, hosted by Nassau County, and the Indira Gandhi Indoor Arena in New Delhi, India.
The fan park in Rawalpindi will open 90 minutes before the start of the game and will remain open until 60 minutes after the match ends.
