One of the most climactic games of the T20 Cricket World Cup 2024 group stages is nearly here: USA vs India puts together an established heavyweight and a new underdog, and it takes place on Wednesday, June 12.
India are the ICC’s top-rated men’s T20 cricket team, a fact only helped by its victories against Ireland and Pakistan earlier in the group stage. They’re on a war path as the top team of the group so far.
The underdogs here are USA, one of the two hosts of the tournament and a team which has never qualified for the T20 World Cup before. Despite this they’ve won both of their previous matches of the tournament, beating Pakistan in a shock upset, cementing themselves as one to watch through the tournament.
With two matches after India vs USA in the group stage, it’s very plausible that both teams will proceed to the Super Eight. But a victory here guarantees it, while a loss could open the door for Canada to take the second spot in the group depending on the other matches.
So there’s all to play for in New York when the game takes place; here’s how to watch USA vs India live.
