USA vs IND Dream11 Prediction: It’s a big face-off between the two unbeaten teams in Group A as co-hosts USA play India at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. The match is scheduled for an 08:00 PM (IST) start on Wednesday, June 12, 2024.
India and USA both remain unbeaten after two rounds. The Men In Blue started their campaign with a one-sided 8-wicket win over Ireland. However, Rohit Sharma’s men had to play out of their skin in the last match as Pakistan ran them too close in the biggest fixture of the ongoing T20 World Cup. India batted first and, against all odds, were bundled out for 119 runs in 19 overs. But the bowlers turned the screws on Pakistan, and the 2007 champions succeeded in defending the total, winning the match by six runs.
With that win, the Indian team moved to the top of Group A with four points from two matches.
USA are also on four points after two matches. It’s an understatement to say that the Americans have defied the odds completely. India and Pakistan were outright favorites to come out from this group and qualify for the Super Eight. But the fact that USA can clinch a spot in the next round at the expense of Pakistan is a big headline itself.
However, the job is only half done, and USA still needs two more points to achieve their intended target.
USA vs IND Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: We have a good amount of data for Nassau County International Cricket Stadium as enough games have been played at this ground in the ongoing T20 World Cup. The pitch here is an absolute nightmare for the batsmen due to its uneven bounce. Sometimes the ball keeps low and doesn’t even carry to the gloves of the wicket-keeper, while on other occasions, the ball bounces off the deck like a tennis ball. This is the only reason why we have seen teams defending totals as low as 113 runs, which South Africa managed against Bangladesh.
India also defended 119 runs against their arch-rivals Pakistan. So expect more or less the same story here as batsmen have to dig deep to score quick runs.
But it also depends on whether India bats first or bowls. You can expect the first innings score to be more than 160 if Rohit Sharma’s team bats first.

USA vs IND Dream11 Prediction Injury and availability News
USA
- With no injury concerns, expect USA to stick with the same winning combination they used against Pakistan.
India
- The big question for Team India management is to manage superstar Virat Kohli. The Royal Challengers Bangalore star failed to get going in the first two games as an opener. He might play at his favorite no-3 position.
- If Kohli moved down to 3, Yashasvi Jaiswal might come into India’s Playing XI at the expense of Shivam Dube. Sanju Samson is another option.
TOP Picks For USA vs IND Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- Virat Kohli: The superstar posted 1 and 4 in the first two matches. This isn’t a reflection at all of what Kohli can do. We all know he is a world beaten, the best white-ball cricketer the world has ever seen. Kohli should be one of our choices either as captain or vice-captain in USA vs IND Dream11 fantasy cricket teams.
- Jasprit Bumrah: Every captain, whether it’s Mumbai Indians or Indian team, can thank god for having Jasprit Bumrah at their disposal. He is out of this world. His presence makes India a world beater. He is in red-hot form at the moment, after winning back-to-back man-of-the-match awards in the first two games in the T20 World Cup.
- Rishabh Pant: Yes, Rishabh Pant survived on a few occasions, but his aggression kept the scoreboard running against Pakistan as long as he was on the pitch. He is the most in-form batter for Team India at the moment. His last three scores are 53, 36* and 42.
- Hardik Pandya: He is now playing like a premium all-rounder. Batting might have been Hardik Pandya‘s biggest strength, but the way he is bowling these days, he guarantees points in fantasy points. He has picked up five wickets in the first two matches.
- Aaron Jones: The biggest threat to India’s bowlers. Aaron Jones likes to play on the front foot right from the first ball. His aggression and no hold-bar approach, plus, his ability to play all kinds of shots makes him a nightmare for any bowler. He scored 94 not-out and 36 not-out in his first two matches.
Vice-Captain Options:
- Rohit Sharma: Started the T20 World Cup with a 52 not-out score against Ireland. The Indian captain remains a high-quality batter who can win games on his own. Rohit is worth considering as captain in at least one or two teams.
- Monank Patel: USA’s captain produced a man-of-the-match performance against Pakistan as he scored a team-high 50 runs off 38 balls. He can do the same against Team India.
- Saurabh Netravalkar: Saurabh Netravalkar‘s profile sky-rocketed after his crucial bowling performance against Pakistan. Everyone googled him, and went to his social media profiles. He is, in fact, a good bowler and can trouble Indian batters as well.
- Suryakumar Yadav: SKY failed to get going in the first two matches. But we know his capability. He is Mr. 360. The Mumbai Indians star can rip apart any bowling unit in a matter of few overs.
- Andries Gous: Just like Aaron Jones, Andries Gous is another player who likes to be aggressive with his batting approach. Gous is worth having in fantasy cricket teams.
Players worth considering
- Arshdeep Singh: He has picked up three wickets in the first two matches. In our USA vs IND Dream11 Prediction, we back Arshdeep to get at least one wicket in this match.
- Ali Khan: Quality bowler. Can hit yorker length at will.
- Axar Patel: Can impact the match with both bat and ball
