On June 12, at the Nassau County Stadium in New York, the United States of America and India faced off in Match 25 of the T20 World Cup 2024. India chose to bowl first after winning the toss. India opted to field an unchanged playing XI for their third game, but the USA suffered a setback when Shayan Jahangir replaced skipper Monank Patel in the pivotal encounter.
Patel’s absence from the game was caused by a niggle, according to Aaron Jones, the USA’s acting captain for the match. Another major addition to the team came from the hosts when Shadley van Schalkwyk replaced Nosthush Kenjige. In the previous game, which had a low scoring total of 30, Kenjige was a little costly. But the USA have chosen to ignore the fact that he claimed three vital wickets.

We’re going to bowl first. Although it has performed better in the past two games, you still need to immediately assess the situation before letting the game take control. It all comes down to maintaining the momentum and improving continuously. Making the correct decisions is crucial. Although we didn’t have enough runs on the board in the fantastic game, the bowlers showed up and won it for us. At the toss, Rohit remarked, “We’re playing the same team.”
We also would have bowled first because the bowlers had some early assistance. He is experiencing some discomfort and will return soon. We want to play well, and it should be a fun game. With the only goal of playing excellent cricket, the camp is really upbeat. Jones stated during the toss, “Shayan Jahangir takes Monank’s spot, and Shadley takes Nosthush’s position.
