Get ready for the Group A table-topper battle. The undefeated teams, India and the USA will meet to decide who’ll be the first team from the group to move to the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup. Leading into the last match at the Nassau Cricket Stadium, Rohit Sharma’s Men in Blue are on a high, having claimed an easy 8-wicket victory and a memorable comeback win at the same venue on June 5 and 9. Meanwhile, the home team led by Monank Patel has already upset Pakistan and would be looking to take down the Indian juggernaut as well.
India vs USA Head-to-Head
This will be their first encounter on a cricket field.
India vs USA Team News
There are no injury concerns for both sides. However, form may be an issue for the Men in Blue. Apart from Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant, none of the other batters have scored more than 20 runs. Meanwhile, the home side is in great form, both with bat and ball.
IND vs USA Pitch Report
We have seen two different Nassau Cricket Stadium pitches. The first three pitches were pit fires, where pacers reigned supreme. The uncertain bounce on the pitch along with seam movement throughout the game made it virtually impossible for batters to play. In the last four games, the pitch seems to have eased up a bit, but still, teams aren’t scoring over 120. Expect help for pacers, a bad outfield, and batters struggling to score quickly.
IND vs USA Weather Report
On June 12, there is a less than 5% chance of rain from 10 AM to 4 PM (the match starts at 10:30 AM) in New York, and humidity will hover between 44 and 57%. The good thing is that since the game will be played in the morning and afternoon, dew will not play a factor.
