On Wednesday, June 12, at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, the United States of America (USA) will play India (IND) in Match 25 of the T20 World Cup 2024. An international match will pit the formidable Indian team against co-hosts the United States of America.
This encounter will be the third of the competition for the team led by Monank Patel. In the Dallas curtain-raiser, the debutants stunned Canada by seven wickets to get off to a great start. The USA had previously chosen to field first after winning the toss against Pakistan, limiting the Babar Azam-led team to 159/7.
Against Pakistan’s elite bowling lineup, American batsmen performed admirably at the bat. Despite appearing to be going in the hosts’ favour, the game ended in a draw, with the Super Over being used to determine the winner. In the end, Monank and company prevailed in the suspenseful Super Over.
Team India, meanwhile, has won their last two games. They outscored the Irish team by eight wickets in their first league stage match, crushing them for 96 runs. The Men in Blue were bowled out for 119 runs in 19 overs during their most recent match against bitter rivals Pakistan, which put them in a challenging situation. Even though Babar and company were intent on winning the match and dealing a serious blow to their neighbours, some disciplined bowling from the Indian bowlers enabled them to win by a small margin of six runs.
Significantly, the victor of the match between the United States and India will advance to the Super Eight stage, becoming just the second side after South Africa to accomplish so.
Overview of Pitch Report
Batters have found the pitch at Nassau County Stadium to be a difficult surface to work on. Its uneven bounce and sluggish pace have made it more favourable for pace bowlers than spin bowlers, giving hitters less opportunities to score runs. It will take careful play by batters to score runs on this surface in these conditions.
