Sponsors cashing in for India vs Pakistan

Major international companies like Emirates Group, Saudi Aramco, and Coca-Cola Co. are backing the month-long tournament as sponsors. The timing of the matches has been strategically arranged to coincide with peak viewership times in South Asian nations. For example, the India-Pakistan match is slated for 10:30 am in New York on Sunday, which corresponds to the evening hours in India.

During last year's Cricket World Cup in India, a 10-second advertising slot was priced at 3 million rupees. Chandrashekar Mantha, a partner at Deloitte India, notes that this higher cost compared to the T20 World Cup reflects the greater excitement surrounding cricket when the event is hosted in India. He also mentions that some advertising budgets may have already been allocated to the recently concluded Indian Premier League.

The International Cricket Council, the governing body, aims to garner broader global attention for the sport leading up to its inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Cricket already enjoys a dedicated fan base in the US, thanks to a sizable diaspora from cricket-loving countries in South Asia. Additionally, Indians working in the tech industry have played a significant role in bolstering support for the sport.

Technology executives including Sundar Pichai (Alphabet), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), and Shantanu Narayen (Adobe) have shown interest in Major League Cricket, a T20 franchise league based in the US. Their involvement underscores the increasing recognition of cricket's potential in the American market.
