Adds it is about keeping up with the momentum and keep doing the right things, and come out and play good quality of cricket.

TOSS – Rohit Sharma calls it right and India have elected to BOWL first.
UPDATE – The news from US camp is that Monank Patel has been ruled out of this game due to an injury and Aaron Jones is the stand-in skipper.
PITCH REPORT – Ebony Rainford-Brent and Steven Smith are at the 22 yards. Rainford-Brent begins by saying that it is a glorious day with not a single cloud around. Adds that there’s no breeze and the same wicket is being used as compared to the last game. Tells that the dimensions are same with 72 meters down the ground, and 66 meters and 70 meters to the square boundaries. Smith joins here and says it’s been a tricky surface and things have been pretty similar throughout. Says the bowlers have tried to hit the hard length and have found success. Also says that playing cross-batted strokes have been difficult here. Reckons that bowling first would be a good choice on this track.
USA, on the other hand, led by Monank Patel has been on a merry way run throughout this group stage. They kicked off their campaign with a convincing victory over their northern neighbors Canada, before scripting a sensational Super Over triumph against the formidable Pakistan. The USA’s batting unit has been blazing all guns. At the forefront of this run-scoring rampage has been the big-hitting Aaron Jones, who has been the wrecker-in-chief, taking a heavy toll on the bowlers with his blistering stroke-play. He has been very well complemented by Andries Gous and the skipper Monank Patel, who have been consistent with the bat as well. Adding to the depth, Corey Anderson is always a dangerous component as an all-rounder on any given day. Meanwhile, Saurabh Netravalkar and Nosthush Kenjige have consistently been among the wickets. This well-rounded USA outfit boasts a perfect blend of flair and discipline, with their talented players capable of turning the game. Will the USA defy the odds again or will India win three on the trot? Toss and the teams are up next.
True to their reputation, India has hit the ground running, first dismantling Ireland with a comprehensive performance and then pulling off a great historical victory against Pakistan, successfully defending a modest total of 119. However, the drop-in pitches have posed a stern test for the batters, and the Indian batting unit will be aiming to find their mojo with the willow. Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma have been in fine form while stalwarts like Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, and the hard-hitting Shivam Dube are due for big scores, and they’ll be itching to make their mark on this grand stage. India’s bowling unit has been a well-oiled machine, with the leader of the pack Jasprit Bumrah spearheading the attack in scintillating form. The premier pacer has been simply unplayable, and has been complemented pretty well by Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj. Hardik Pandya has regained his rhythm back with the ball, while Axar Patel has been quite handy with both bat and ball and has been used as a floater whenever the situation demands.
