USA vs IND Top Players Predictions
Aaron Jones (USA):
The Caribbean-bred cricketer has been in scintillating form with the bat for the United States of America. He smashed an unbridled 94 against Canada to seal the deal with a six in the tournament opener and followed it up with an impactful score against Pakistan that helped USA get a super over victory.
Rohit Sharma (IND):
The Indian captain scored a fifty on this tricky surface against Ireland. He looked in a good space of mind and can be a threat to the opposition bowlers if he gets going here.
Jasprit Bumrah (IND):
The Indian quick has been bowling thunderbolts in the T20 World Cup. He was the player of the match against Pakistan after bagging a three-fer that included the big wickets of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed. He completely turned the game on its head with his skillset and execution.
USA vs IND Hit or Miss Prediction
Virat Kohli (IND): The Indian stalwart got dismissed for single digits in the last couple of games for India. However, he is a quality batter and has the ability to adapt according to the conditions. Hence, the IPL 2024 orange cap holder is expected to bounce back against USA in the upcoming match.
USA vs IND Conditions-based Predictions
- Pacers tend to succeed more frequently here.
- In recent games in New York, there has been a startling low bounce.
- Batters must rotate their strikes and identify periodic boundaries on a sluggish outfield.
USA vs IND Match Predictions
The Indian opening pair of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma haven’t quite gelled together so far in the T20 World Cup. However, one can expect them to have a better partnership than their counterparts (1.34). The Indian bowlers controlled their margin of extras in the last game; hence, the total extras less than 18.5 (1.75) in the contest. Also, it is tough to convert starts on this strip and hence the highest individual score could be less than 60.5 (1.85). The Odds.
USA vs IND Winner Predictions
USA have shown their grit and dedication to create upsets in the T20 World Cup and would look to do so. But India is a far more formidable side in the tournament and should come out on top in this contest.
