United States vs India, 25th Match, Group A - Live
video.png)
When: USA vs India, June 12, 10:30 AM Local, 8 PM IST
Where: Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York
What to expect: Many
more runs than scored so far on the drop-in pitches here in NY. If
India were to bat first, a healthy total of over 160 is an eminent
possibility with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and other Indian batters
looking for runs. The match will also be a test for the USA team as they
will be up against a mighty opposition.
Head to Head: 0-0. India and the USA have never faced each other in Twenty20 Internationals, and for that matter in any format.
Team Watch
INDIA
Injuries/unavailability: All
players are available for selection. Unlikely that there will be any
changes to the side that played against Pakistan although there will
always be this temptation of bringing in the wrist spin Kuldeep Yadav
into the mix. Shivam Dube's position may be vulnerable but this Indian
team is known to give players a long rope.
Tactics & Matchups: They
will go with the same four-man pace attack. It is a no-brainer given
the conditions of the pitch. The left-right combination was discarded
during the Pakistan game and Axar Patel was sent ahead of a few regular
batsmen, including Suryakumar Yadav and such a change in batting order
is unlikely against the USA. Rishabh Pant has been on a roll in this
World Cup with scores of 36 not out and 42, and he should continue to
bat at No 3.
Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli,
Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya,
Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep
Singh
Team Watch
USA
The hosts
may feel pressed to change their winning bowling combination that took
the field against Pakistan. The Indian lineup boasts of 4 left-handers
in the middle and lower order who were deployed quite flexibly by the
team management. If USA stick to the T20 match template, that may force
Nostush Kenjige out of the XI after match-winning three-wicket haul in
the previous game. However, the tacky nature of the wicket where the
batters have found it difficult to hit through the line may tempt USA to
stick to their guns.
Tactics & Match Ups: Corey
Anderson hasn't had much role to play with the bat this tournament.
USA's star all rounder, who stayed unbeaten after facing 2 deliveries on
the opening night, was quite inexplicably held back in the dugout in a
tense chase that got US out of jail off the last ball, almost.
Unarguably, their most powerful and experienced ball striker was seen as
surplus to requirements in the Super Over. The presence of spin duo of
Patel and Jadeja in the India attack should serve as more than an invite
for Anderson to make a splash in what is billed to be the biggest game
in USA's cricketing history. The USA would need every bit of his brute
force and experience to hold their own against an unsparing adversary.
Probable XI: Steven
Taylor, Monank Patel (c & wk), Andries Gous, Aaron Jones, Nitish
Kumar, Corey Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Jasdeep Singh, Nosthush Kenjige,
Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan.
Did You Know?
India
have defended sub-150 totals four times in T20Is, and Jasprit Bumrah is
the only one to have featured in each of them, with two POTM
performances. He was also the POTM when India defended 67/5 in a
rain-shortened 8-over game vs NZ in Trivandrum in 2017.
Five
members in the USA squad were born in India. Milind Kumar, Harmeet
Singh, Ronak Patel, Saurabh Netravalkar and Nisarg Patel are the desi
cricketers in the American team.
Harmeet Singh dismissed Ross Taylor in the only IPL game he played, for RR under Rahul Dravid
Squads:
India
Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav,
Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit
Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson,
Kuldeep Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal
