The United States of America (USA) will host the opening match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against neighbours and rivals Canada at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, Texas. Get ready for the largest cricket fiesta in North America.
The Group A match will measure how interested the public is in cricket for a match other than India versus Pakistan in a nation where baseball fans predominate. The two sides have played cricket together for over 180 years, beginning in Manhattan, New York, in 1844 when their first match was played. It's time for them to square off against one another on the grandest stage of them all.
The USA and Canada played a four-match T20 international series, with the hosts winning all four games. But the first game was fairly balanced because Canada easily defeated Nepal in a warm-up match before the T20 World Cup.

Grand Prairie Stadium has not yet hosted an international game, but in 2023 it served as one of the two Major League Cricket (MLC) stadiums. There have been seven teams that have scored more than 175 runs in the twelve MLC games played at this venue, and two teams have scored more than 200 runs, suggesting that the batting track is beneficial.
Teams batting second score 144 in the first innings, whereas teams batting first score 167 on average. In eight of the twelve games, the team batting first has prevailed, while the pursuing team has won four.
The 2024 ICC T20 World Cup will go off in New York, USA, on June 1. But since India is nine hours and thirty minutes ahead of New York, NY, USA, it will be on June 2 in India.
It's interesting to note that the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 opening ceremony is scheduled for June 2, just in front of the tournament's second match between the West Indies and Papua New Guinea.
The live toss for the fourth USA vs. CAN T20 match is scheduled for 05:30 AM IST.
On June 2, at 6:00 AM IST, the USA vs. Canada T20 World Cup 2024 live match will take place at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
