Preview
In the Super 8 Group 2 match of the T20 World Cup 2024, the USA will lock horns against West Indies at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. After losing their first match in the group, both the USA and West Indies are in a must-win situation to give themselves any chance of making the semifinal of the tournament. A defeat in the upcoming match will put these two teams out of the reckoning for top 4 in the T20 World Cup 2024 in all likelihood.
Team News
Monank Patel, the captain of the USA, could be fit for this match, and if so, he will take over the leadership reigns from his deputy Aaron Jones. Meanwhile, Brandon King had to retire hurt midway in his innings against England due to an injury, so there is a question mark hanging on his availability in this match.
