T20 World Cup 2024: USA v India preview

The 2024 T20 World Cup continues on Wednesday night in Nassau County, New York, as India look to secure top spot in Group A with a win against the United States.

The Indians enter as heavy favourites at -1250 with Bovada, whereas the Americans are paying +750 to spring another huge upset.

In their last game, USA defeated Pakistan in a super over to clinch the most famous win in their cricketing history. Chasing 159 to win, they managed to match that total through key knocks from Monank Patel (50), Andries Gous (35) and Aaron Jones (36*). Jones continued his bash as the Americans put up 18 batting first before fast bowler Saurabh Netravalkar secured the victory, taking 1-9.

Playing in their first-ever T20 World Cup, the USA have been the surprise packet of the tournament, winning their first two matches. With two sides going through to the next stage, the Americans need to win just one of their remaining matches to secure their place.

India also have two wins from two outings, and they also got there with a narrow win over Pakistan. India struggled batting first, with Rishabh Pant’s 42 runs the only innings of note as they were bowled out for 119. However, led by Jasprit Bumrah’s 3-14, they restricted Pakistan to just 113.

Undefeated so far, India will be hoping for some more convincing performances going forward. Top cricket betting sites expect India to be competing right till the end, as they are +200 favourites.

USA v India betting predictions

Although the USA have been impressive, facing India is another matter altogether. As the top-ranked T20 side in the world, India should be far too strong as -1250 favourites as they secure their spot in the next round.

With 65 runs in this World Cup, Indian captain Rohit Sharma looks set to be the danger man once again. At the top of the order, he should make the most of the powerplay conditions against an inexperienced American bowling lineup. At +275 with top online bookmakers, back Sharma to be India’s leading runscorer.

Man of the match in both of India’s matches so far, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been unplayable on the poor American pitches. Going at less than three runs per over, he is drawing out false shots by building immense pressure on opposition batters. At +160 with Bovada, back Bumrah to take three or more wickets.
