West Indies elect to field first against USA mharis

West Indies won the toss and elected to field first against the USA in the Super 8 round of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados Bridgetown on Friday.

Both teams lost in their respective opening Super 8 match which makes this a virtual do-or-die contest.

“We are going to bowl first. Looks a pretty good wicket, inclement weather as well. We’ll look to bowl well and take instructions from there. Our destination in our hands. Today provides us an opportunity to get back to winning ways. We have been batting well as a team. We were lacking a bit of intensity in the middle overs in the previous game. Romario misses out, in comes McCoy. King has been ruled out and in comes Shai Hope,” Windies skipper Rovman Powell said at the toss.

Teams:

United States (Playing XI): Steven Taylor, Andries Gous(w), Nitish Kumar, Aaron Jones(c), Corey Anderson, Milind Kumar, Harmeet Singh, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Nosthush Kenjige, Ali Khan, Saurabh Netravalkar
