United States - India Predictions & Betting tips - ICC Men's T20 World Cup
by Devesh Jaganath |
The pick of the matches on Wednesday in the T20 World Cup will see the United States taking on India at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. The US are currently in second place in Group A, while India lead the group. Fair to say, the US have shocked the world in this competition. While many had not given the tournament debutants a chance of qualifying, they have secured back-to-back wins in their first two games in the competition and one more victory will likely guarantee them a Super Eight berth. The hosts kicked off the tournament with an excellent run chase of 197/3 against neighbours Canada, which is the highest score in this year’s World Cup so far. They then followed that up with what many are considering the greatest T20 World Cup upset of all time, where they beat the mighty Pakistan by five runs in the Super Over after both sides scored 159 in their innings. The undoubted standout for the US in this competition has been Aaron Jones, who is currently the second-highest run-scorer in the competition with 130 and has the highest individual score so far of 94*.
Meanwhile, for India, it has been business as usual. They’ve ticked off two wins in a row so far and look well on their way to another Super Eight. The Men in Blue began their World Cup campaign with a demolition of Ireland and followed that up with a hard-fought six-run victory against arch-nemises Pakistan over the weekend. Against the Shaheens, India were bowled out for just 119, marking their lowest-ever T20 total against their old foes. However, an inspired bowling performance of 3/14 by Jasprit Bumrah turned the game on its head and secured victory for the Blue Shirts. India are now on a seven-match winning streak in T20Is and are clear favourites to win this match. However, they will know that they cannot underestimate this opponent, who have already overcome one Test-playing nation in this competition.

Our United States - India - ICC Men's T20 World Cup prediction
While the US have certainly gained many fans due to their incredible performance in this competition, this is by far the biggest test they have faced to date. Indeed, India have not hit top gear just yet but one player has stood out for us and that’s wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant. The left-hander is also coming off a very impressive IPL campaign, where he was the best batter for the Delhi Capitals and he looks in great nick at the moment. Therefore, our United States vs India prediction: Rishabh Pant Over 20.5 Runs.
