For Bangladesh specifically, the warm-up match is crucial following a recent series loss against the USA, where Najmul Hossain Shanto will play the role of opener for his side. They understand the injustice they received and strive to redefine their tactics and come back more powerful.
However, India wants to clinch the ICC trophy after having failed to do so in the past eleven years, as they consider the warm-up match a pointer to the much-anticipated T20 World Cup trophy.
Rohit Sharma highlighted and shared his perspective on the factor of having to appreciate the weather and other conditions before going ahead with the first Group A match against Ban on June 5.

Awe-Inspiring Stadium Transformation
It would be seen that the construction of Nassau County Cricket Stadium was done quickly for a record minimum period of three months, and this fact has baffled both the captains. Later, Najmul Hossain Shanto could hardly believe the quality of the given facility had changed over time from what it was initially to what is now a proper cricket stadium.
Of the features, he particularly liked the eastern grandstand and the standard of the playing field in general.
The stadium, with the temporary facilities provided by Populous for spectators up to 34, 000, can fuel its seat with the turf donated from LandTek Group. The customizable green soccer field offered by Adelaide Oval Turf Solutions in Florida enhances the stadium’s appeal.
As these two cricket teams prepare themselves for their teams in the T20 World Cup, the Nassau County Cricket Stadium remains the epitome of the commitment of cricket lovers in the USA. Blinded fans look forward to the nail-biting games and amazing moments that will be played out in this prestigious tournament.
