Packed T20I Clash: Pakistan vs West Indies in Florida

There's something electric about a cricket game in the USA, and this time, it's Pakistan vs West Indies lighting up Florida. Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill is getting ready for a showdown on August 1, 2025, kickstarting a three-match T20I series between two teams with points to prove. The first ball is set for 8:00 PM local time in Florida (which translates to a chilly 5:30 AM IST for Indian viewers) and midnight GMT. It's a late-night (or early morning!) treat for die-hard fans hoping for big sixes and dramatic wickets.

Pacing into the series, both squads aren't exactly brimming with confidence. Pakistan recently stumbled in a surprising defeat against Bangladesh, while the West Indies are smarting from a clean sweep loss to Australia. Both camps will see this as a chance to reboot—and there's plenty at stake. The next two T20Is on August 2 and 3, again at Lauderhill, will keep fans hooked before the format shifts to ODIs in Trinidad from August 8 to 12.

Where and How to Watch the Action Live

Where and How to Watch the Action Live

Indian fans are in for an early start if they want to catch every ball live. Don't look for a TV channel though—you won’t find any live telecast for this series in India. Instead, the matches are available exclusively on the Fancode app. That's your gateway to the action, bringing every boundary and wicket directly to your phone or screen, no matter where you are. Such digital-only broadcasts are becoming more common as global cricket finds new ways to reach its massive following.

For those wondering, the match timings are as follows:

  • Local time in Florida, USA: 8:00 PM (previous day, July 31)
  • Indian Standard Time (IST): 5:30 AM (August 1)
  • Greenwich Mean Time (GMT): 12:00 AM (August 1)

The entire three-match series shares the same timings, so fans who catch the opener can simply set their alarms for the next two days as well.

With both teams reeling from recent defeats, expect some bold moves and new strategies. Pakistan’s power hitters are looking to regain form, and the West Indies always threaten with their flair and unpredictability. Cricket in America might still feel like a novelty for some, but with venues like Central Broward hosting top international matches, these games are growing in both importance and following. This series isn't just a warm-up for future tournaments—it's a frontline contest with plenty of pride and ranking points on the line.

Don't be surprised if Florida’s stands get packed with a sea of green and maroon shirts, bringing a slice of South Asian and Caribbean fan culture across the ocean. And for those in India awake at sunrise, there’s nothing quite like live cricket to start your day.
