Challenge for America to beat the power hitters of West Indies
Co-hosts USA have played aggressive cricket so far and will be expected to do the same in this match. American batsman Steven Taylor said before the match, ‘We are playing good cricket and the team cohesion is amazing. We know that we will be considered weak against other Super Eight teams. We are here to play well. If we can do this, we will win, otherwise we will lose. America’s weakness is its inexperienced bowling attack, for which it will have a big challenge bowling against West Indies’ power hitters Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell and Powell.

Playing for Brendan King is tough
Windies opener Brendan King, who had to leave the field against England due to an arm strain, is in doubt. If he does not play, Shimron Hetmyer will get a place in the team. While America’s captain Monak Patel is out of the match against Pakistan.
