IND vs USA: Key player battles
Jasprit Bumrah vs Andries Gous
Bumrah, with his lethal yorkers, deceptive slower balls, and unplayable bounce, will look to dismantle USA’s middle order early. Gous will need to counter Bumrah’s variations under pressure. If Gous can see off Bumrah’s opening spell or take him on in the death, USA stay alive; if Bumrah strikes twice, the game could be over by the 10th over.
Abhishek Sharma vs Ali Khan
Abhishek Sharma has been smashing powerplays for fun in and India will want him to go berserk upfront against USA’s fastest bowler. Ali Khan, with his raw speed and skiddy bounce, can rush left-handers and crank it up past 145 kph. One big over from Abhishek could take the game away from USA; one early wicket from Ali could quiet the Indian top order
Ishan Kishan vs Saurabh Netravalkar
Ishan Kishan loves pace on the ball and will look to dominate the powerplay and middle overs. Netravalkar, with his ability to move the new ball both ways and cramp left-handers for room, poses a genuine threat. If Kishan clears the infield repeatedly, India will cruise; if Netravalkar sneaks an early breakthrough or keeps him quiet, USA’s bowlers get crucial breathing space.

India vs USA toss prediction
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is usually a very high-scoring pitch. It is a batter-friendly ground where the totals soar sky high. Notably, in T20I games, teams have won here while chasing 5 times out of 9, and hence, the same might be chosen as captains winning the toss might take up bowling first.
