Sports Desk: The United States won by 8 wickets against Canada in their first match of this year’s T20 World Cup. That chased 193 runs. Their victory in the second match was even more impressive. 2009 champions Pakistan won by five runs in the Super Over. In a word, the hosts are flying at home with two wins in two matches.
In the third match, the American opponent is India. Before this match, Rohit Sharma was threatened by US vice captain Aaron Jones. According to him, India is a strong team, and they are not afraid at all.
India-USA won two matches by playing two equal matches. On Wednesday (June 12), the two undefeated teams from Group A will face each other in the night match. This match between the USA and India will be the first such encounter in the international tournament. And before this match, Jones came to the press conference as a representative of the team. Like India, fellow nations rarely get to play against a star-studded team. The United States wants to squeeze everything it can to exploit the opportunity.
Jones said, “When I was growing up, I always dreamed of playing against the best cricketers in the world, and now I’m getting the chance to do that.” I am so looking forward to this match. The opportunity that I have got is encouraging to me; in this case, I am not afraid that the opponent team is strong. Of course, I will play and talk with them. But I will try to win.
Immigrant cricketers are scattered on the US team. But Jones was born and raised in the United States. Several cricketers in the team have once played age-group cricket for India. There are cricketers like Sourav Netravalkar, Monak Patel, Harmeet Singh, Milind Kumar, and Nitish Kumar. And now they will face off against India.
“We have a lot of Indian boys in our team who have played with the cricketers of this Indian team in the past, so they are also very excited to play against each other in this match.”
