Match Preview
Co-hosts and debutants for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, United States of America, are set to take on India in an exciting clash on Wednesday, June 12, at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York. Seeded in Group A, India and USA are currently placed at the first and second positions, respectively, with two wins to their credit. Both teams have come off dominantly and are running on a two-win streak. However while one team will extend their streak in the next game, other team’s winning streak will come to an end.
Pitch Report
The newly-constructed stadium in New York, USA, hasn’t proved to be kind to batters over the course of the tournament. However, the pitch behaved quite well during India’s last fixture in the tournament which they played against Pakistan. Batting has been hazardous due to uneven bounce. From the past games, the batting strike rate at Nassau is 88 and the average is low than 14. Bowlers have an edge on the surface.
Team Analysis
United States of America
The co-hosts and debutants of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 have deliveried brilliant performance contrary to everyone’s expectations. The Monank Patel-led side stunned former champions Pakistan in their last game, after taking down Canada in the season opener. Batters like Monank Patel and Aaron Jones have been leading the charge, coming up with consistent performances. Not only this, but they also have some hard hitters including Corey Anderson, Andries Gous, and Nitish Kumar. Team USA has bowlers like Saurabh Netravalkar and Ali Khan who have contributed to past successes and would aim to continue the same performances.

Reserve Players: Gajanand Singh, Juanoy Drysdale, Yasir Mohammad.
India
The inaugural T20 World Cup winners started off on a favourable note and won both two matches in the tournament thus far. In their last match, India pulled off a remarkable win in their last game against Pakistan and turned all odds, probabliities and chances in their favour despite putting up an easily-achievable target. Indian bowlers shouldered the responsibility of team’s win and went all guns blazing on the Pakistani batters. While Jasprit Bumrah bowled an exceptional spell claiming three crucial wickets, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel didn’t give much away. India is in safe hands and got everything to win the tournament in terms of bowling.
However, the Indian batters need to bring in their A-game and batters like Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube are all overdue for some big runs in the tournament and hence, need to come up with good batting performance. Wicketkeeping batter Rishabh Pant has made a remarkable comeback and he looks unstoppable, but the youngster needs support from others.
If Men in Blue wish to keep their momentum going, they need to up their game with the bat and produce some stellar knocks.

Siraj Reserves: Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan
