T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs USA Match Today: Playing XI prediction, head-to-head stats, key players, pitch report and weather update
T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs USA Match Today: The two teams yet to be beaten in Group A of the 2024 T20 World Cup – India and United States – will lock horns for the first time on Wednesday at the Nassau County Stadium in New York. Both the sides are frontrunners to make into the Super-8 and the winner of their game will become the first team to do so from their group.
USA have started off their tournament with wins against Canada and Pakistan in a thrilling Super Over win in Dallas last week. India on the other hand, have emerged victorious against Ireland and arch-rivals Pakistan, whom they beat in a low-scoring thriller on Sunday in New York.
Here’s a look at the Playing XI predictions, head-to-head stats, venue records, pitch, and weather updates ahead of the IND vs USA match.
India vs USA Predicted XI
India predicted XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
Indian player to watch out for: Virat Kohli has got off to a poor start at the ongoing T20 World Cup with scores of 0 and 4 from his two outings so far. It remains to be seen if the team management will stick with him at the top order or adjust him to three – given how well Rishabh Pant has adjusted to that spot. But with India very likely to make to the next round, they would hope for their leading run scorer in the format to get up and running in the remaining two group stage games.
United States predicted XI: Steven Taylor, Monank Patel (c & wk), Andries Gous, Aaron Jones, Nitish Kumar, Corey Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Jasdeep Singh, Nosthush Kenjige, Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan
USA player to watch out for: Aaron Jones is the second highest run-getter in the competition so far on the back of crucial knocks against Canada and Pakistan. His presence at number four is going to be crucial if USA are to take points on Wednesday.
India vs USA squads
India: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
USA: Monank Patel (c & wk), Aaron Jones (vc), Andries Gous, Corey Anderson, Ali Khan, Harmeet Singh, Jessy Singh, Milind Kumar, Nisarg Patel, Nitish Kumar, Noshtush Kenjige, Saurabh Netravalkar, Shadley Van Schalkwyk, Steven Taylor and Shayan Jahangir.
