T20 World Cup 2024, USA vs IND Match Up: Top 5 Player Battles to Watch Out For

India and USA will lock horns in their next game of the T20 World Cup 2024 on Wednesday evening. The Men in Blue will look to seal the qualification to the Super 8 with their third consecutive victory, while the USA will also be looking to trouble the mighty Indian side after shocking Pakistan in their previous fixture.

USA vs IND Top 5 Player Battles

1 – Rohit Sharma vs Saurabh Netravalkar

The Hitman will be out there to provide India with an explosive start in the powerplay. Meanwhile, Saurabh Netravalkar is fresh from his match-winning heroics against Pakistan. The left-arm pacer will look to scalp out one of the biggest wickets in world cricket currently, while Rohit Sharma will look to dominate the inexperienced bowling attack of the USA.

2 – Monank Patel vs Jasprit Bumrah

The skipper Monank Patel scored a match-winning fifty against Pakistan and he looked solid throughout his knock. However, he will be up against the deadliest pacer in world cricket currently Jasprit Bumrah. The right-arm pacer will look to dismiss the USA skipper early and break the back of the USA batting unit.

3 – Suryakumar Yadav vs Ali Khan

Suryakumar Yadav hasn’t found his rhythm yet and he will be eager to play a big knock in this contest. The right-arm batter has all the shots in his book and he will try to get back to his best before the tougher challenges arrive. On the other hand, Ali Khan will look to contain the damage by removing SKY early as the former Pakistan pacer usually bowls in the middle and at the death for the USA. He has already picked up 2 wickets in 2 matches and will try to add a few more to his tally.

4 – Aaron Jones vs Axar Patel

With 130 runs in 2 matches, Aaron Jones is the USA’s leading run-getter in the competition so far. He is a middle-order batter who has dominated the spinners courtesy of his strong slog sweeps. At the same time, Axar Patel is playing as the main spinner for India and the left-arm spinner is an attacking option courtesy of his high-arm action. Axar Patel will look to scalp the USA’s middle over without giving anything away.

5 – Steven Taylor vs Arshdeep Singh

Steven Talyor is the experienced batter for the USA at the top. After failing in the first two matches, he will be itching to play a vital knock against India. On the other hand, Arshdeep Singh will be bowling with the new ball for Team India and the left-arm pacer has already picked up 3 wickets in 2 games. After defending the last over against Pakistan successfully in the last game, he will be feeling confident to rattle the USA’s batting unit.
