Whenever India and Pakistan play each other, it creates a feverish atmosphere. Tickets for their World Cup match in New York were snapped up rapidly, with resellers demanding exorbitant prices up to $5,000 per seat due to the huge demand. Hotels are fully booked and both nations will come to a virtual standstill when these two arch-rivals take the field.

Big Stage in New York

The marquee fixture has been awarded to New York, home to a large South Asian diaspora population. It will be played at the newly-built modular stadium in Nassau County, Long Island at 10:30 am local time (2:30 pm GMT) on June 9th. Given the buzz around the match, New York police are deploying their “largest security ever” to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Bitter Rivalry, Memorable Clashes

Though a cricket match at the end of the day, an India-Pakistan game is more than just a sport for the fans.
