In the 21st fixture of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 , the USA is set to meet the Netherlands on Friday, February 13. The match will be held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai at 7:00 PM IST.
For the USA, it is simple. Win or go home. After two defeats, including a 32-run loss to Pakistan, they have no margin left. Shubham Ranjane has been their most reliable batter so far, scoring freely at a strong strike rate.
Shayan Jahangir’s attacking 49 in the last game was another bright spot. With the ball, Shadley van Schalkwyk has stood out with eight wickets in two matches.
The Netherlands , meanwhile, come in with confidence after a solid win over Namibia. Bas de Leede’s unbeaten 72 showed his class under pressure.
Scott Edwards and Colin Ackermann add stability, while Max O’Dowd remains a threat despite a quiet start. With a balanced attack led by Logan van Beek and Roelof van der Merwe, the Dutch will back themselves to seal a Super 8 spot.

(MA Chidambaram Stadium T20I stats)
The MA Chidambaram Stadium pitch has played better for batters than expected in this T20 World Cup. So far, the surface has offered low turn compared to other venues.
That means spinners may not get sharp assistance, though they can still be effective with good control.
Early in the innings, the ball comes on nicely. Batters can trust the bounce and play their shots. Scores in the 160-180 range are very possible here. Fast bowlers may get slight movement with the new ball, but variations will matter more later.
This will be the first night game at Chepauk in the tournament. Dew is likely to play a role. That could make bowling second difficult and give the chasing team a slight edge.

The weather in Chennai is expected to stay warm and humid for this evening match. Temperatures will range between 26°C and 28°C during playing hours. Conditions will feel sticky, especially for the players in the field.
Being a coastal venue, the humidity levels will remain high throughout the night. The dew is expected to set in during the second innings, which could make the ball slippery and harder to grip for bowlers.
This may help the chasing side. The sky is forecast to be partly cloudy, but there is only a 5% chance of rain, so interruptions are not expected.
Conclusion Both the USA and NED have plenty at stake in this clash. The Netherlands come in with better form and a good record against the opponents, and they are favourites in that regard. The USA, however, have shown quality skillset but cannot afford another slip.
Chepauk is expected to offer a fair contest. With warm and humid conditions expected and no rain forecast, fans should get a full game. In the end, execution with both bat and ball will decide who comes out on top.
