T20 World Cup: With Harshit Rana Out, Favourites India Work Out Combos For Opener Against USA
T20 World Cup: Hoping to become the first country to win back-to-back titles and the first team to lift three crowns in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, the Indian men's cricket team will kick off its campaign against minnows the United States, hoping to ride the recent momentum to make history.
Though the build-up off the field has been rocky with the spotlight fixed on the Pakistan and Bangladesh teams because of the shenanigans of their respective boards, the Indian team will be hoping to put all that stuff behind them when it steps into the iconic Wankhede Stadium for their first match on the opening day, which will have three matches on the stove as the tournament explodes into action.
With Namibia, the Netherlands, and Pakistan the other team in Group A, and with the Green Shirts looking set to not play the India match in Colombo on February 15, the Men in Blue have an easy path to the Super 8s.
