A sold-out crowd descended on Eisenhower Park on Sunday for a clash of cricketing arch-rivals India and Pakistan, facing each other in a T20 World Cup match that fans called a dream come true. Their 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup clash drew 229 million television viewers in India alone. “While we’re having a watch party here, there’s going to be a watch party around the world,” said Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. Rain delayed the start of the match and officials were forced to suspend play minutes into the action due to another sudden downpour. “The atmosphere at an India-Pakistan game is something very, very different,” International Cricket Council (ICC) CEO Geoff Allardice told Reuters.
