Players To Watch Out For In USA vs India T20 World Cup 2024

Game 25 of the T20 World Cup is set to be played between the Co-Hosts USA and the Cricket Giants India at the Nassau County Academy in New York.

Both teams sit comfortably at the top 2 positions of the ladder with 2 wins on the bounce. A win for either team would be enough for them to enter West Indies for Super 8s starting next week from 19th June. Both India and USA are coming into this game after beating Pakistan in their previous encounters.

In this article, we will discuss about the players to watch out for in today's game later in the day.

Players To Watch out for in India vs USA

1. Virat Kohli

Kohli hasn't set the stage on fire as yet, as he was expected to do after the IPL form he had winning the orange cap over there. In 2 games Kohli has played till he scored just 5 runs. Kohli also registered a low score against Pakistan for the very first time in T20 World Cups.

With the pitch at Nassau being under severe scrutiny the batters can be excused, but the belly of Virat Kohli will be fired up as the team plays for the last time in New York, Kohli would try his best to get back in form and please the New York fans.

2. SuryaKumar Yadav

The number-ranked batter in the T20 format has been under pressure for some time now, since the series in South Africa, the times have been hard on Surya. SKY last scored a half-century for India in the tour of South Africa, he got injured soon after and was out for at least 2 months. Surya had an indifferent IPL too scoring 4 ducks in the 10 games he played. SKY will be looking forward to this game as the Super 8s loom large.

3. Shivam Dube

Shivam Dube has been under the scanner for quite some time now, the left-handed batter had a quiet second half of the IPL. In the Warm Up game too against Bangladesh Dube looked out of sorts and soon perished. In the all-important game against arch-rivals Pakistan, he chipped one straight Naseem Shah of his bowling. Things got worse for Dube as he dropped an important catch of Muhammad Rizwan in the 2nd over of their chase.

Dube has an important role to play today, with group games coming to a close soon Dube will have to pull up his socks or else the writing could well be on the wall.

4. Corey Anderson

Former Kiwi All-Rounder Corey Anderson made a move to the USA some time ago, today he is playing for them in the T20 World Cup. Anderson after being sidelined by New Zealand due to inconsistency and frequent injuries was expected to shine in this World Cup.

However things have been similar for him he has found the going tough, both with the bat and ball. Against Pakistan USA surprisingly dropped him down the batting order, he bowled just an odd over against Pakistan. With plenty of International experience under his belt, the kiwi will be one to watch out for the game later tonight.

5. Harmeet Singh

Former Indian U-19 spinner Harmeet Singh had earned a huge name in the USA Cricketing circuit and had the best chance to show his skills on the big stage. Unfortunately, Singh has had a torrid time with the ball for now, leaking 10 an over against Pakistan saw his inability to stop the run flow.

Singh now will be playing against his country of birth might just pump him to put the best foot forward later today.
