India and USA eye Super Eight spot as both teams clash in T20 World Cup match

Two wins in two games and Team India is a heartbeat away from qualifying for the Super Eight. As they brace themselves for the upcoming challenge from the hosts, USA, both the teams will have an opportunity of making it to the following round in this very game.

With wins against Ireland and Pakistan, Team India will be hopeful of a relatively solid batting showdown which has been a major talking point for the Men in Blue in their first two games. However, they will be undoubtedly pinning their hopes on a well-oiled bowling unit spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah.

USA will also be coming to this fixture brimming with confidence after brilliant wins against the same oppositions that India had tamed. With players hailing from franchise leagues happening all around the globe, the hosts have some solid strength in their side. A couple of experienced names in the form of Corey Anderson and Steven Taylor will certainly be doing the rounds apart from their fine bowling unit that has been breathing fire until now.

Venue Watch:

The surface at Nassau International County Stadium has been a hotbed of discussions for the experts all across the globe. The surface has exhibited spongy bounce while there has been ample seam for the fast bowlers with the new ball. A good show of discipline has yielded terrific results in favour of the bowlers. The batters will have to be watchful and smart in their applications.

Head to Head:

This is the first time that the two teams will meet in a T20I.
