The Indian juggernaut rolls on as they take on the USA in their next Group A encounter at ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. This will indeed be a historic game as these two will meet for the very first time in international game. Ahead of the encounter, here’s a look at some predictions for this clash:
India or USA – Which team will emerge victorious?
India enters this match as the heavy favorites. They have been clinical in the first two games. Although in the clash against Pakistan, India were largely behind, it was their ‘never-say-die‘ spirit that took them over the line. USA, meanwhile, have been the true inspiration as well. They, however, are still inexperienced in the international setup.
The USA, playing at home with passionate support, could pull off an upset, like they did against Pakistan. It is a top of the table clash after all! Despite the odds, India is expected to win and extend their winning streak and get that ‘Q’ against their name.
Match Prediction: India to win rather convincingly.

Who will win the Toss in IND vs USA?
Predicting the toss is always a gamble, but past records show no significant bias for either team. The pitch at the venue might be a deciding factor. If it’s a bowling-friendly wicket, we can expect another low-scoring encounter. Chasing here has been difficult in recent matches. Rohit Sharma has won and lost one toss each, while Monank Patel has had the rub of the green with tosses. USA can continue with their habit of winning tosses.
Who will score the most runs in the IND vs USA tie?
This can be a tough call. Both teams have exciting batting talents. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are always in hunt and will be rearing to go full tonks. While, USA will pin their hopes on opener Monank Patel or man-in-form Aaron Jones. Considering India’s batting depth, an Indian batsman is likely to emerge as the top scorer.
Given that Virat Kohli is yet to fire and his stellar record at T20 World Cups, the modern-day master will be an ideal candidate to score the most runs. With scores of 1, and 4, Kohli would be desperate to hit his straps as an opener.
Who will take the most wickets in the IND vs USA tie?
Both bowling attacks have their weapons. India’s pace attack with Bumrah and Arshdeep will be a quite exciting, while the USA will rely on their star Indian-origin pacer Saurabh Netravalkar.
Needless to say Jasprit Bumrah will look to rule the roost, especially after his breathtaking performance against Pakistan. Bumrah has gotten the hold of the Nassau surface and it would be extremely difficult for the USA batters to negotiate the great man.
Remember, these are just predictions. Stay tuned for an exciting match!
