United States will have one final chance to make things interesting in Group 2 of Super 8 when the co-hosts face an uphill battle against defending champions England in the last round 2 match of both these teams at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. (Streaming | Full Coverage | More Cricket News)
After giving South Africa a tough fight in their first Super 8 game, the United States were given their first one-sided defeat in their debut T20 World Cup against the other hosts West Indies. The massive loss against West Indies put a dent in their net run rate so big that they are unlikely to recover from. That means unless they give a similar drubbing to England, they will not be able to go through to the final four even after a win.
England dominated West Indies in their Super 8 opener but then lost to South Africa in the second match. A loss to USA will put them on the mercy of South Africa defeating West Indies and even then net run rate will come to play.
England need a win big enough to surpass West Indies' net run rate and then hope that the co-hosts either lose or win in a manner so that they do not cross the net run rate of the defending champions.
