T20 World Cup: ICC to set up fan park in Rawalpindi for Pak vs Ind clash

The ICC's decision will allow fans to feel the game's intensity and cheer for the Green Shirts via a big screen at the Rawalpindi stadium on June 9.

The match between 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 for fans 90 minutes before the start of the game and will remain open until 60 minutes after the end of the play.

"The ICC has announced a record number of fan parks to broadcast the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 with nine live sites in five different countries," read a statement released by the ICC.

The move, as per the international body, will bring the biggest cricket carnival to more communities than ever before in ICC World Cup history.

As many as 22 World Cup matches, the ICC said, will be shown in various locations including New York City, New Delhi, and Rawalpindi — the highest number of fan parks for an ICC World Cup ever.

"The parks will feature live entertainment such as DJs, food and drink outlets, cricket ambassadors, and family activities, making it an unmissable experience for fans across the globe," the statement added.

It is to be noted that the mega event will commence on June 1 and will see matches being played in the US and the West Indies.
