What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
Both these teams kick-started their Super Eights campaign with a defeat and are now staring at an early exit given that result.
While USA made a concerted effort to get close to the South African total in the first Super Eights encounter, West Indies were pounded out of their contest by the duo of Phil Salt and Jonny Bairstow.
Quick WI vs USA Preview
Both sides will know that a defeat in this match will all but end their chances of making the semifinals here.
Because a loss would mean they would be left with a chance to win just one game in the Super Eights and unless there is a unique three-way tie that sees teams stuck on two points apiece, there’s no way the losing team in this encounter will go any further.
On paper, this should turn out to be a one-sided game in favour of West Indies but counting USA out after the manner in which they have performed might not be the best way to go about it.
Sure, USA were outplayed by South Africa in their opener but they put up a solid fight needing 28 from the last 12 balls at one stage.
Their resurgence was nipped in the bud but they can come out of that contest with their heads held high.
The same cannot be said about West Indies whose party was stopped by a clinical England chase. It also brought to the forefront West Indies’ bowling worries, which most good teams will look to exploit.
And that’s something that even USA could look to do – they have the batters to do exactly. While that might not be enough for an upset win, if batters like Andries Gous and Aaron Jones can get going, things could get really interesting.
