USA and India will face each other in a Group A match of the Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 on Wednesday, June 12. The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York will host the encounter.
India, led by Rohit Sharma, are sitting on top of the table with 4 points and a net run rate of +1.455 thanks to wins in both their matches. They got off to a brilliant start after beating Ireland by 8 wickets. Rohit’s men had to fight hard to secure victory against a strong Pakistan team, captained by Babar Azam. In the end, the Men in Blue won by 6 runs and went back to the top of the table.
Against Pakistan, India were bowled out for 119 in 19 overs after being asked to bat first. Pant scored 42 runs off 31 balls with 6 fours and was their standout batter. The decision to promote Axar Patel also worked after the left-handed batter scored 20 runs off 18 balls. Apart from them, Rohit was the only other batter to get into double digits.
Thereafter, India restricted Pakistan to 113 for 7 in 20 overs. Jasprit Bumrah was stupendous after he picked up 3 wickets for 14 runs in 4 overs. Hardik Pandya struggled with the bat, but he got the crucial wickets of Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman.
As far as the USA are concerned, they have a great chance of making their way through to the Super 8. They are placed second in the table with 4 points and a net run rate of +0.626 courtesy of wins in both their matches. They got past the finish line against Canada after a thriller against Canada following Aaron Jones’ heroics.
Thereafter, the USA beat Pakistan in a contest in Dallas that went right down to the Super Over. Skipper Monank Patel stepped up after he scored 50 runs off 38 balls with 7 fours and a six. In the Super Over, Saurabh Netravalkar defended 18 runs to take the USA past the finish line.
India and the USA are yet to face each other in T20Is. Hence, the first battle between the 2 teams is going to be intriguing.
India will go into the upcoming game as firm favourites without a doubt. USA need to put forth their A-game to have any chance of coming up trumps. A win for either team would be important for sealing a berth in the Super 8.
Rohit Sharma is expected to hit the most sixes in the next game. Although he could not score big against Pakistan, one can bet on Rohit to return to form with a bang. Recently, he also became the first batter in international cricket to hit 600 sixes and that shows how brilliant he has been in the shortest format of the game.
