After the high-intensity match between India and Pakistan, the next thrilling match of Group A is between the USA and India, which will be playing their third match in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. While the teams are set to play for the first time, the game will be contested due to the pitch's nature and the ground's conditions. The US team is high on confidence after winning their game against Pakistan, while the Indian team's fantastic comeback against Pakistan will be the talk of the town for a few days now.
However, one crucial question revolves around the USA vs India game: what will happen if the USA vs India clash in New York gets washed out? While both teams will get a point each and will reach 5 points, both the teams will go through to Super 8 since Pakistan and Ireland, both left with 2 games each, can't breach the 5-point mark from Group A.
Pakistan is yet to play one match against Ireland while Ireland will be playing against Pakistan and the USA. Since Pakistan just has one game, they will be unofficially eliminated from the tournament if the match gets cancelled. However, Ireland will have to win both their matches to qualify, or else, they'll be disqualified from the Super 8's race.
Match prediction of USA vs India cricket match
Since the match is in the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York, the match will be a low-scoring game where the toss will be crucial. The captain winning the toss should look to bowl first considering the pitch and the weather conditions. While the weather reports suggest clear skies during the match, it will be interesting to see how the pitch and the outfield behave without any rain.
Moreover, if we talk about the winner of the match, it will depend upon the toss and the team's performance. But considering India's bowling and batting attack, the chances of them winning the match are higher. But since the USA have performed very well, they might win and upset India just like they did with Pakistan.
