India vs USA-(X.com)
For the 25th match of ICC T20 World Cup 2024, the caravan again moves to the newly built Nassau County International Stadium, where the hosts USA will take on India in their third group stage match.
The upcoming Group A game is crucial for both teams as the winner will qualify for the Super 8 round. The two teams are in top forms and have won both games they have played so far in this edition.
This article will shed light on the preview, pitch report, and probable XIs of both teams for the upcoming match.
India have emerged victorious in their first two games and contrary to what was being said at the start of the tournament, they are now touted as favourites to win the tournament. Bowlers have been excellent for the Rohit Sharma-led side, particularly Jasprit Bumrah, whose spell of 14/3 against Pakistan helped India register a miraculous win.
India have played both their games at the Nassau County Stadium, where the surface has proved to be difficult for the batters, thus it would be unfair to be highly critical of the poor display from the bat by the Indian batters.
Nonetheless, Rishabh Pant looked in great touch against Pakistan as he showed intent, but the middle-order batters such as Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja need to prove their mettle with the bat.
Eyes would also be on Virat Kohli, who is yet to score a double-digit score in this edition. The positive for the Men in Blue is that they have not relied on a single star to win a game and have performed as a group. Thus, they are likely to go with same XI against USA.
The hosts USA, who were ignored by the pundits when it came to predicting the teams making it to the Super 8 round, shunned the cricketing world when they beat Pakistan.
The positive for the United States is that the players have not succumbed to the status of the opposition and played according to the situation, which helped them against Pakistan.
Even in their opening match against Canada, they chased down the target of 195 courtesy of Aaron Jones and Andries Gous.
The hosts would rely on skipper Monank Patel who scored a fifty against Pakistan and also, Aaron Jones and Gous to give them the runs against a strong bowling unit India have.

The surface at the Nassau County Stadium has proved to be a nightmare for the batters. Teams have failed to put big total on the board as as even seen during South Africa-Bangladesh match, the Tigers failed to chase a small target of 114 runs. The pitch will continue to behave the same and the batters have to play carefully and not throw away wicket.

India are the favourites to win the game as they have relied on group effort to win their previous two matches. Further, Bumrah is in top form and it would be difficult for USA batters to face the MI star bowler.
