2024 T20 World Cup weather update: New York weather report for June 5 for India vs Ireland match

Team India will begin their 2024 T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Wednesday, June 5. The Men in Blue have been pitted in Group A alongside co-hosts USA, arch-rivals Pakistan, Canada, and Ireland.

India have largely been unsuccessful in T20 World Cups since winning the inaugural edition in 2007. They made it to the semi-finals of the last edition in Australia but were knocked out by eventual champions England.

Rohit Sharma and company have landed in the US after playing in the IPL and will look to begin their campaign on a winning note. Rohit is likely to open alongside Virat Kohli, meaning Yashasvi Jaiswal will have to sit out. On the other hand, left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh could pair with Jasprit Bumrah in the pace-bowling unit.

Ireland, on the other hand, are known to shock heavyweight teams in World Cups. They will look to come out all guns blazing against a star-studded Indian team and make Group A interesting. The Irish are known for playing a fearless brand of cricket and coupled with the pitch conditions in New York, they can stun India on Wednesday.

Speaking of the weather conditions in Nassau, the temperatures will likely hover between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius. The humidity will be around 55 percent, making the actual feeling four to five degrees higher than the actual temperature.

According to Accuweather, there is no chance of rainfall in the forecast for Nassau on Wednesday. However, there will be some cloud cover during the game time, but it is unlikely to cause any delay.
