T20 World Cup: New York Pitches Are 'bordering On Dangerous', Opines Andy Flower

Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: Former England head coach Andy Flower has said pitches at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium are "bordering on dangerous" in the ongoing Men’s T20 World Cup.

Flower’s comments come after India beat Ireland by eight wickets, with the pitch and slow outfield coming under heavy scrutiny.

On Wednesday, India bowled Ireland out for just 96, with the drop-in pitch having excessive swing and variable bounce, which was uneven on various occasions in the game, leading to batters like Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant suffering blows. On Monday, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 77, as South Africa won the match on a challenging pitch at the venue.
