The match will take place at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados and there has been some light drizzle at the venue; this should not delay its commencement time.
America boasts the NFL, an expansive college sports scene and the world’s most beloved soccer team; but cricket has made strides toward becoming more mainstream.
Andries Gous
Andries Gous is an outstanding wicket-keeper batsman in T20Is with an outstanding strike rate and hard-hitting approach, capable of hitting long distance shots. His reputation precedes him.
He is an essential member of the USA squad, often seen batting alongside Corey Anderson. A dangerous batsman with an impressive career average that exceeds 40, he remains an important part of this dynamic squad.
South Africa’s bowlers struggled to contain South Africa co-hosts’ fluency batting and were punished. Kagiso Rabada removed Taylor with an off-length delivery that Klaasen caught at mid-off before trapping Aaron Jones lbw via fuller deliveries. Harmeet Singh was dismissed for 38 but Gous’ sixes kept South Africa close to victory.
Nitish Kumar
Nitish Kumar has been an impressive performer for USA at the 2024 World Cup. An allrounder with exceptional batting abilities who bowls medium fast bowling. Also an exceptional fielder.
Nitish Kumar made history when he became Canada’s youngest ever first-class debutante against Kenya in 2009. Later that year he also made history when making his ODI debut against Papua New Guinea a month later – becoming one of two youngest ever players ever to make their international debut!
He will be instrumental in leading the USA against West Indies as another loss could put them out of contention for semifinal qualification. USA must rally together as a collective effort if they hope to be competitive again; so far Corey Anderson and Harmeet Singh have done an admirable job, but more needs to be done from other players as well.
Aaron Jones
The United States have made remarkable strides since emerging onto the World Cup Super 8 stage just months ago, and are now challenging some of cricket’s premier powerhouses such as Pakistan and India in group stage matches. Already they have shocked critics by beating Pakistan and giving India an early scare!
Yet many may be unaware of the existence of an U.S. cricket team due to it being less widely practiced than expected in this country – aside from some scattered matches played across Florida state – until now.
Corey Anderson
USA needs a win over England in their final Super Eight stage game in order to have any chance at reaching the semifinals. They currently have one loss out of two matches played, so any additional defeat would mean an immediate elimination from competition.
On 1 January 2014, Anderson broke Shahid Afridi’s record for fastest One Day International century by reaching his milestone off only 36 balls during an ODI match at Queenstown Events Centre and ending unbeaten on 131 not out – sharing an unbeaten stand of 149 with Jesse Ryder.
Windies bowlers were also successful, with Roston Chase and Andre Russell each taking three wickets while Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, and Guealkesh Motie each picking up one wicket each. These results mean that two teams from each group advanced to the semifinals.
Harmeet Singh
Harmeet Singh is a left-handed batsman and slow left-arm orthodox spin bowler, playing T20 leagues across India and America including Atlanta Riders in the US Masters T10 Tournament and Seattle Orcas in Major League Cricket.
West Indies opened their Super 8 campaign with an emphatic win against USA, thanks to Shai Hope who hit eight sixes during an 82-ball innings from him to secure a nine-wicket victory for Windies over USA and set themselves on course towards semi-final qualification. Unfortunately for USA this leaves them winless after two matches – they now face England as their last opponent before heading into their semi-final playoff tie against them in Bermuda next Sunday.
Shadley van Schalkwyk
After suffering a devastating defeat against South Africa, the United States national cricket team will take on West Indies on Friday for a Super 8 match – this game marks an essential match-up as any victory would put either team close to qualifying for semi-finals.
Kensington Oval experienced a brief rainstorm, but play is expected to resume shortly. West Indies captain Rovman Powell won the toss and elected to bowl first.
USA batsman Andries Gous led scoring with 29 while bowlers struggled to contain West Indies batting power, with Akeal Hossein, Alzarri Joseph and Gudakesh Motie taking one wicket each for Caribbean team. West Indies now hold a two-point advantage over England and can secure their semi-final spot by defeating them on Sunday.

Ali Khan
Monank Patel of Team USA stands out from his fellow American players with his unique path into international rugby. Hailing from Gujarat in India but qualifying through residency rather than birth or nationality.
At one end of the pitch stands a full-strength West Indies side led by Roston Chase and Andre Russell; both players have taken wickets so far and the USA could soon fall further behind in this match.
Shai Hope batted first for the Windies and got off to an explosive start, while USA needed wickets quickly in order to stay competitive in this match. Saurabh Netravalkar bowled his opening over for them and conceded just three runs off it while dismissing Steven Taylor and Andries Gous with successive deliveries from him.
