USA vs ENG Preview

USA’s journey in the Super 8 stage has been challenging, as they find themselves at the bottom of Group 2 after losing both their matches. Despite their impressive run in the group stage, which included a stunning upset against Pakistan, the Americans have struggled to maintain that form against tougher opposition. Their batting unit, which showed promise earlier in the tournament, has faltered in recent matches, failing to post competitive totals. The USA will be desperate to salvage some pride and prove that their earlier performances were not mere flukes.

Meanwhile, England’s campaign in the Super 8 stage has been a mixed bag. They started on a high note, securing a convincing victory against West Indies in their opening match. However, their momentum was halted by a 7-run defeat to South Africa in a closely contested encounter. This loss has put pressure on the English side to bounce back and keep their semi-final hopes alive.
