Speaking of the teams’ forms, the Indian team is coming into the clash on the back of a five-game T20I series win against New Zealand. Defeating the Black Caps across four out of five matches. On the back of such stellar performance, the Men in Blue will aim to maintain their momentum and register their first win of the tournament as they take on the USA. As for their opponents, the USA lost both of their warm-up matches before the start of the T20 World Cup. Taking on India A and New Zealand, the USA failed to register a single victory and it could be interesting to see how the side plans on making a comeback as they take on the defending champions team India.
