In this article we will be analyzing the USA vs IND Match Prediction. Co-hosts USA square off against India in the 25th match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Wednesday, June 12. This is going to be the last match played at the temporary stadium in the marquee event.
The USA players have surprised the cricket fraternity with their impressive skillsets and desire to compete on the big stage. They chased down a 195-run target against Canada in their first match in T20 World Cup history. This continues to be the highest successful run-chase in this year’s competition. Following this fantastic result, Monank Patel’s men pulled off the upset of the tournament so far when they defeated Pakistan in the Super Over. The USA can reach the Super Eight stage if they win at least one of their two remaining matches against India and Ireland.
India, on the other hand, are comfortably sitting atop Group A after winning their first two games against Ireland and Pakistan. While the Ireland game saw the inaugural champions winning comprehensively by eight wickets, chasing a paltry target of 97 runs, they had to toil hard in their second encounter against their arch-rivals Pakistan. The Men in Blue defended a 120-run target commendably and won by six runs.

Nassau Cricket Stadium, New York Pitch Report
The stadium has seen some fantastic crowds but the pitches have not matched up. While there have been some intense low-scoring encounters, there have also been a few lacklustre matches. Batting has been very difficult as the pitches have provided variable bounce and balls have stopped on the batters. It is important for the batters to apply themselves at the crease. Meanwhile, bowlers can consider the surface as their biggest ally and use it to good effect. Bowlers who are not comfortable bowling yorkers can refrain from going for it as there is enough in the pitch to cause problems for the batters.

USA vs IND Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter of the match:
Rishabh Pant has been in scintillating form since his much-awaited comeback to professional cricket earlier this year. He is India’s leading run-getter after two matches. In the first game, he scored an unbeaten 26-ball 36 against Ireland before following it up with a 31-ball 42 versus Pakistan. At No. 3, Pant’s role is going to be very crucial for the Men in Blue.
Probable Best Bowler of the match:
Jasprit Bumrah has been one of the best bowlers in the early stages of the tournament. In two games, he has bagged four wickets at an average of four and a strike rate of 8.40. His economy rate is a mind-boggling 2.86. It is going to be intriguing to see how the USA batters counter Bumrah’s threat.
