The pitch will be under the scanner in the Nassau International Stadium, New York as the two neighbouring countries face each other in the T20 World Cup. The ICC recently admitted that the drop-in pitches at the venue have not been up to the mark, with several players copping blows to the body in previous games.

Team news for India vs Pakistan
Rohit Sharma retired hurt against Ireland in the last match after copping a blow to his shoulder and also hurt himself during a training session but he is fit for the game. India are unlikely to go in with any changes, though playing Kuldeep Yadav, who has a good record against Pakistan, could be on their minds.
As far as Pakistan are concerned, Imad Wasim is fit after a rib injury and is likely to slot in for Azam Khan, whose lack of form has been a concern.
