The United States of America (USA) will take on England (ENG) in Match 49 of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on June 23. USA were having a dream run in the tournament’s group stage but were humbled in the Super Eights stage as they lost two consecutive matches against South Africa and West Indies. As a result, the upcoming would be a make-or-break for the hosts as they have their one-foot over the exit door and potential loss would see them officially bow out of the World Cup 2024.

On the other hand, The Three Lions were provided a ray of hope as they breathed again after the game between the USA and Ireland was washed out, cementing the Super 8 berth. They outclassed co-hosts West Indies in the first game but succumbed to South Africa in the second. The upcoming clash will surely decide their course in the tournament, as a loss would potentially hamper their semi-final dream.

Pitch Report

Kensington Oval is one of the few venues in the tournament that has produced a deck which favours the batters from the initial stages of the innings. Captains would not hesitate to bat first here. Bowlers will have a different ball game when the pitch starts to wear out in their later second half, and the strip will aid slower bowlers as the ball starts gripping before coming onto the batters.
