Last Thursday, the USA cricket team produced arguably the biggest upset in Men’s T20 World Cup history by defeating Pakistan in a thriller in Dallas. Today, they will aim to produce perhaps the biggest upset in cricket history as they take on India in Group A action at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in East Meadow, New York.
After defeating rival Canada in their tournament opener on June 1, the USA faced tall odds to take down Pakistan. But after being set a target of 160, the Americans battled well. With a boundary needed off the final ball, Nitish Kumar came up clutch with a four to tie the match.
In the subsequent Super Over, the USA hit almost all the right notes with bat and ball. Aaron Jones set the tone with a first-ball boundary, and Pakistan went to the crease needing 19 runs to win. With 18 runs to work with, bowler Saurabh Netravalkar stepped up and etched his name in cricket history. He took one wicket and surrendered only 13 runs, securing an earth-shattering result for the tournament co-hosts.
As a result, qualification for the Super 8s is very much in play for the USA. Even with a loss today, a win over Ireland on Friday in Lauderhill, Florida would secure a spot in the next round.
T20 World Cup Group A Table
- India – 4 points (Net Run Rate: 1.455)
- USA – 4 points (NRR: 0.626)
- Pakistan – 2 points (NRR: 0.191)
- Canada – 2 points (NRR: -0.493)
- Ireland – 0 points (NRR: -1.712)
For those unfamiliar with cricket, what is net run rate, which will determine who moves on if there is a tie in the final table? It is a team’s average runs per over across the tournament minus the average runs allowed per over across the tournament.
If the USA can avoid a heavy loss against India, they could still be in contention to reach the Super 8s even if they lose to Ireland, depending on how things shake out in that match and in Saturday’s match between Pakistan and Ireland.
But can the Americans pull off the unthinkable today and make that all moot? Odds are certainly stacked against them, especially with how well India have bowled thus far in the tournament.

Can the USA Challenge India?
The nature of T20 cricket creates the possibility for more upsets than in the longer forms of the sport. A few early or timely wickets with the ball can set a team up well. So can establishing a partnership or having someone get in the mood with the bat.
Against Pakistan, the USA took three wickets in the first 4.4 overs, and even though Pakistan did recover decently from there, they weren’t able to put up a total that put them out of sight.
With the bat, the Americans never let the target get out of reach, even after losing Andries Gous and captain Monank Patel in the 14th and 15th overs. Even as things looked dicey when 11 runs off of the final three balls were needed to just force a Super Over, they remained composed and confident.
That composure and confidence will be needed in droves once again to compete with India, who have started the T20 World Cup with wins over Ireland (by eight wickets) and Pakistan (by six runs).
Bowling has been India’s biggest strength to this point. In their opener, they restricted Ireland to only 96 runs and promptly chased down the tiny target in 12.2 overs. Against Pakistan, they managed just 119 runs with the bat but defended it with an outstanding all-around bowling effort, led by Jasprit Bumrah’s 3 wickets for 14 runs in his four overs.
Thanks to the USA’s performance against Pakistan, you can expect India to not take this match lightly. This isn’t to say that they would have beforehand, but they certainly won’t now.
As a result, we may see a dominant victory for the favorites. But don’t dismiss the USA’s chances to make things more competitive than expected.
USA vs India Prediction: India to win

The American squad entered their Semi-Final game as a 17.5 point favorite over Nikola Jokic and this Serbian team. From the moment the game tipped off, you could see the urgency from Serbia. Serbia lead by 8 points after the 1st quarter and lead by as much as 17 points in the 3rd quarter. Nikola Jokic and Bogdan Bogdanovic had the Serbs humming, They combined for 37 points, 14 assists and they looked ready to upset this USA squad. The American superstars had something else in mind. In the final frame we finally saw Steve Kerr wake up and just put his best guys out there on the floor. Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Lebron James were all the United States needed. They would go on to win the 4th quarter by 17 points and secure the 4 point win over Serbia. All it took was a 36 point near triple double from Steph and an actual triple double from Lebron James. The home team France come into this game as a 16 point underdog, looking to make a statement on their home court. Victor Wembanyama shot 4/17 from the field and 1/8 from 3, somehow it didn't make a difference. Rudy Gobert was demoted to the bench for their Semi-Final matchup with Germany and played just 5 minutes total; but it seemed to work. Gershon Yabusele finished with 17 points / 7 rebounds in the game and Isaia Cordinier poured in another 16 and 7 of his own. If France wants a realistic chance at Gold, they'll need Wemby to step up in a big way. Stephen Curry o14.5 Points (-106) via BetOnline – Get a $500 WELCOME BONUS Stephen Curry had 36 points in the Semi-Final game against Serbia Chef Curry was at it once again, this time in Paris. Steph finished with 36 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists; he went 9/14 from 3 and just hit big shot after big shot. The Americans were down big at some points during the game against Serbia, going down as much as 17. Every time the United States needed a big shot, it was Stephen Curry who answered. Down 17? Steph 3. Cut it down to single digits? Steph 3. Down 2 with 2 minutes left? Steph 3 to take the lead. After that last 3, the United States never looked back. They would go on to win 95-91 and now look like a lock for the Gold Medal. We're rolling with the hot hand in this matchup so we're going right back to Steph. Curry's struggled a little through the Olympics, but after his big game I'm ready to go right back.

Wemby was bad in the Semi-final. He shot 1/8 from 3 and unfortunately we were on his 3-pointers made. Victor saw 17 shot attempts in the game against Germany, putting down just 4 shots and getting to the line just 3 times. He's averaging just 13.5 points per game and shooting 37.5%and 27% from beyond the arc. The young prodigy is playing in just his first Olympic Games so you'll have to cut him a little slack. Tonight he faces off with most of the guys he grew up watching, including his idol, Kevin Durant. We saw Wemby with some big games during the NBA's regular season, averaging 23 points per game in 3 games against KD and the Suns. His best game came in early November, he finished with 38 points and 10 rebounds. Tonight, with a Gold Medal on the line, there's no bigger moment for the young star to show up. 30% off all Betalytics Packages, Code: BNEWS Victor Wembanyama o17.5 Points (+100) via BetOnline Bonus Bet: Victor Wembanyama 25+ 3s (+450) To Recap, Olympic Betting Insights for August 10th, 2024: In the USA vs. France game today, we're rolling with two plays.
