The West Indies are gearing up to take on the United States of America at the Kensington Oval in Barbados in in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super Eights clash. The match is set to start at 5:30 AM (PST).

Rovman Powell's West Indies squad, previously riding a four-match winning streak, encountered a setback in their first Super Eights match against England. Despite posting a respectable total of 180 runs, the Caribbean side faltered as England's Phil Salt delivered a remarkable performance to chase down the target comfortably. The West Indies' bowling unit, renowned for its potency in the group stage, struggled against England, with Akeal Hosein and Gudakesh Motie failing to take wickets, while Romario Shepherd and Alzarri Joseph leaked runs.

Looking ahead, the West Indies might include Obed McCoy in their lineup to strengthen their fast-bowling department for the upcoming fixture.

On the other hand, the United States exceeded expectations in the group stage, progressing to the Super Eights with convincing victories over Canada and Pakistan. Despite a loss to South Africa in their first Super Eights outing, Aaron Jones' team received accolades for their spirited batting display.

Openers Steven Taylor and Andries Gous will play crucial roles for the USA, supported by the promising bowling skills of Saurabh Netravalkar, who has been pivotal in the team's campaign.
