In their opening match, the USA achieved a remarkable feat by chasing down a target of 190+ against Canada, setting the stage for their underdog journey in the ICC T20 World Cup. However, they surpassed all expectations by defeating Pakistan in their next match, showcasing their resilience and strategic acumen.

Their match against Pakistan exemplified their underdog spirit as they forced the game into a super over with a tie in the regulation 20 overs. In the super over, their pragmatic approach and strategic prowess helped them clinch victory, placing them second on the points table ahead of higher-ranked teams like Pakistan and Ireland.

With two matches remaining in the group stage, USA is determined to advance to the super eights. While a defeat against India could pose a setback, a victory over Ireland in their last group-stage encounter could secure their progression. The batting unit, led by Aaron Jones, has been competitive, with notable contributions from Monank Patel and Andries Gous.

Their bowling department, spearheaded by Nosthush Kenjige and Saurabh Netravalkar, has been effective in containing opposition batsmen.

India, on the other hand, had a mixed start to their campaign, breezing past Ireland but facing a tougher challenge against Pakistan. Despite a shaky start, Rishabh Pant's innings propelled them to a competitive total, supported by Axar Patel.

Their bowling attack, led by Jasprit Bumrah, showcased its prowess by restricting Pakistan's chase. However, India will need to improve their overall performance, particularly in the batting department, with key players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma needing to step up.

While India's bowling unit has performed admirably, their batting lineup must deliver consistently to maintain their dominance in the tournament.
