USA will come into their next match in the group stage of the T20 World Cup hot on the heels of the nations biggest ever victory on the cricketing stage. However, they will need to improve once again when they come up against one of the pre-tournament favorites India.
Before Betting On USA vs India T20 World Cup
It would be hard to argue anything other than the T20 World Cup being a huge success in the United States to this point. But, a big reason for the tournament’s success comes down to the performances that the home nation are delivering. The USA come into their third match in the competition sitting top of the Group A standings after winning each of their opening two matches. Therefore, they could be just one win away from booking their spot in the next round of the competition.
Excitement levels surrounding the tournament reached new highs on Thursday, as the USA produced their best ever performance in the sport to topple former world champions Pakistan. A gripping Super Over saw the USA claim a five-run success, but they more than held their own against their prestigious rivals. Monank Patel was the standout player for America, hitting 50 runs from 38 balls.
However, India will present an even bigger test for this exciting American team, having won the T20 World Cup on one occasion, and finishing as the runners-up in 2014. The top ranked nation in the T20 rankings is among the favorites to win the tournament this summer, and their recent form highlights how talented they are.
India landed a routine victory on the opening night of the tournament, beating Ireland by eight wickets with 46 balls remaining. The nation needed just 12.2 overs to reach the 97 wins that recorded victory, with much of their hard work done with the ball after Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets from six overs.
