TEAMS PREVIEW
United States of America Preview
West Indies are coming off an 8-wicket loss to England in their first Super 8 game. Batting first on a good pitch at Gros Islet, they were restricted to 180-4 in their 20 overs. England then got to the target with 15 balls to spare.
This loss would have been a wake-up call for West Indies, who had won all their matches before the Super 8 stage. They could have done more with the bat and their fast bowlers were all over the place with their lines and lengths.
Nicholas Pooran took 32 balls to score only 36 runs in the previous game. However, he is the team’s in-form batter, having already scored 200 runs in the competition at a strike rate of 141. We expect him to go big in this game.
Brandon Kingand Rovman Powell are our other picks for the batters who should do well in this game. Both of them are destructive and a quickfire cameo from either of them can be game-turning.
As for the bowlers, West Indies will depend on their spinners, Akeal Hosein, Roston Chase, and Gudakesh Motie, to do the bulk of the job. They bowl stump-to-stump and America’s batters will find it tough against them. Andre Russell will keep things tight and might pick up a wicket or two.
However, the likes of Romario Shepherd and Alzarri Joseph were wayward in the previous game, and will need to do better here.

West Indies Preview
United States have reached the Super 8s in emphatic fashion, surprising everyone in the cricketing world. However, the journey from here on in will be really challenging. They lost their first Super 8 game to South Africa at North Sound by 18 runs. Chasing 195 for victory, United States needed 28 off the last two overs, but some tight bowling by Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje held them back.
Nevertheless, the team has a lot of positives to take forward. For starters, Andries Gous’s unbeaten knock of 80 from 47 balls against South Africa will give the team a lot of confidence. He’s a hard hitter of the ball and can take on the West Indian pacers.
Then there’s skipper Aaron Jones, who’s had a few quiet games. We feel a big knock from him is just around the corner and this might just well be his game to shine.
On the bowling side of things, you can definitely bet on Saurabh Netravalkar to put up another strong showing. The left-arm seamer has been exceptional throughout the competition and has 6 wickets in 4 innings at an economy of just 5.21.
Another bowler to keep an eye on is left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh, who has taken 3 wickets at 7.08 in this tournament.
Other than these two, the bowling line up struggles a bit to control the flow of runs, and against the aggressive strikers of West Indies, the likes of Ali Khan and Jasdeep Singh might struggle on this surface.
West Indies Predicted Playing XI:
Steven Taylor, Andries Gous (wk), Nitish Kumar, Aaron Jones (c), Corey Anderson, Shayan Jahangir, Harmeet Singh, Jasdeep Singh, Nosthush Kenjige, Ali Khan, Saurabh Netravalkar

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at the Kensington Oval is a balanced one, although it favors the batters more. Spinners will get plenty of help here, as the surface tends to get slower as the game goes on. Their role will be key during the middle overs. Batters will need to show a little bit of application to get used to the conditions. Because once they get set, they can get a big one.
The weather in Bridgetown during the game will be humid, with chances of a ing shower in the afternoon. We should get a full game.

Winning Prediction
This will be the first T20I played between West Indies and U.S.A. West Indies will be smarting from their loss in the previous game and will come hard at the opposition in this game. United States have punched above their weight and have shown a lot of character. While another surprise upset cannot be ruled out, we reckon West Indies are just too strong on these kinds of surfaces for a team like United States. They will be looking to improve their NRR, so will go all guns blazing in this match. Unless their batters commit hara-kiri, we expect them to dominate this match and a thumping victory.
West Indies are favorites to win this Super 8 clash against United States.
