Team India has reached USA for the T20 World Cup 2024, and started with a light practice session on Wednesday. Rohit Sharma & Co. play a warm-up match against Bangladesh at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York, on June 1, and then will start campaign vs Ireland on June 5. But after the practice, the city witnessed heavy rains, and thunderstorm.
That raises the question, if rain will play a spoilsport in the IND vs BAN warm-up match too? As per AccuWeather prediction, New York will witness some rain on Thursday as well, but there is no rain forecast on Friday, India’s match day. In fact, there is 0% chance of precipitation with a maximum temperature of 26°.
Terror Threat During IND vs PAK Match
Apart from the rain threat, a Pro ISIS group has issued a warning to disrupt the proceedings during the IND vs PAK match on June 9 in New York. The city’s administration has gotten in action already, and the Indian team is being provided with special security. The sources in the know revealed, that there is already a three-layer security at the team hotel and no outsiders are allowed within the 50m of the hotel, apart from the guests.
