It’s begun to rain pretty steadily here in East Meadow, but that hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm of the crowd, which is in high spirits with vuvuzuelas and flags. The forecast says rain should stop by game time.

Excited cricket fans flocked to East Meadow, NY to see the India v. Pakistan match at 10:30.

Reportedly there is around a 90-10 split between India fans and those supporting Pakistan in today’s match.

Long Island residents and beach revelers looking to hit the shore Sunday should expect major delays as several major roads in Nassau County will be shut down for the Cricket World Cup on Sunday.

Indian and Pakistan are facing off at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday at Eisenhower Park — the biggest match of the ICC Cricket T20 Men’s World Cup in the US.
