USA National Cricket Team has not won a game since losing to India in New York. They conceded too many in the Super 8 game against South Africa due to Jasdeep Singh and Ali Khan having a bad day with the ball. Saurav Netravalkar was spot on once again and the best bowler for USA. With the bat, Steven Taylor gave them a good start but Nitish Kumar and Aaron Jones failed to carry on the momentum and it was only in the later stages that Harmeet Singh and Andries Gous went for the glory and fell short just a few steps away. USA will need a more team effort if they need to go through the power packed unit of West Indies.
West Indies National Cricket Team suffered their first loss of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 against England in the Super 8. With the bat they had a slow start and despite of a strong finish by Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford, their score was just above par on a good batting pitch. England started cautiously but attacked the seam bowlers and despite the best attempt of Akeal Hossein, they were blown away by the England powerhitters. West Indies needs to add Obed McKoy in their ranks replacing a batter as they are lacking specialist skills in the bowling unit.Ā Saurabh Netravalkar Performs Yoga on World Yoga Day, Shares Video on Instagram Ahead of USA vs WI T20 World Cup 2024 Match (Watch Video).
