If you’re hungry for top-level cricket, mark your calendars for July 31. That’s when the West Indies and Pakistan start their three-match T20 International series at Central Broward Regional Park in Florida. With matches slated for July 31, August 2, and August 3—each with an 8:00 PM local kickoff—fans can count on some fast-paced action under the lights.
The timing couldn’t be more interesting. Pakistan lands in Florida with a point to prove after coming off a tough 1-2 T20 series loss against Bangladesh. On the other side, the West Indies are still stinging after being blanked 5-0 by a relentless Australian squad. Both teams will be desperate to snap their losing streaks and get some positivity rolling before the next phase of their cricket calendars.
Wondering where to catch the matches? In the Caribbean, you’re set—ESPN is the official broadcaster, so settle on your couch and turn on the channel. Prefer streaming? Disney+ is your go-to for live coverage in the region. If you’re tuning in from elsewhere, it gets a bit more complicated: broadcast rights vary, so check your local TV listings or streaming platforms for the games. Some territories may rely on digital sport-specific subscriptions, while others might find coverage through their national broadcasters.
Florida, usually known for its baseball and beaches, turns into the focal point of global cricket fans every time top teams clash in the US. The Central Broward Regional Park Stadium isn’t new to hosting international matches, and its lively wickets often mean big scores and spectacular boundary-hitting—the type of cricket T20 fans love.
As for the squads, official lists weren’t public yet at the time of publication; selectors on both sides are likely finalizing decisions after evaluating player performance in recent series. But expect big names and explosive talent as both teams try to show they’ve moved past their latest setbacks.
And the cricket festivities don’t stop with T20s. Once the sprinting is done, both sides will shift to the longer format with a three-match ODI series in Trinidad on August 8, 10, and 12. These matches could see some tweaks in the playing elevens as teams experiment ahead of bigger tournaments down the line.
No matter which camp you back, these matches are set to draw eyes from the Caribbean, South Asia, and beyond—proving again that T20 cricket has the power to bring the world together, one big hit at a time.
