Fort Lauderdale is gearing up to be the epicenter of world cricket with the arrival of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. The city will host four live matches at the Broward County Stadium, but the celebration doesn't stop there. For the matches not played at the stadium, a special area has been created where fans can enjoy the games on a giant screen, experiencing the excitement as if they were on the field.

India vs. Pakistan:

One of the most anticipated moments of the tournament will be the clash between India and Pakistan, a historic rivalry that transcends the sport. This iconic match will be intensely experienced in Fort Lauderdale with a watch party at The Wharf FTL.

The face-off between India and Pakistan is the most awaited and highest-grossing event of all multilateral cricket tournaments. This rivalry originated in 1947 when India was divided into two countries following British colonial rule. Since then, they have fought three wars and diplomatic relations remain tense.

On the cricket field, Pakistan has the advantage in Test matches (12-9) and One Day Internationals (73-56), while India leads in T20 matches (8-3). However, in World Cup history, India clearly dominates, never having lost to Pakistan in the ICC ODI World Cup and only once in the T20 World Cup.

The last encounter in the Cricket World Cup on October 14 ended with a seven-wicket victory for India at the largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
