The T20 World Cup 2024 match between India and the USA is underway at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York. Both teams have won their previous two T20 World Cup 2024 matches. It will be interesting to see who extends their winning streak on Wednesday.
Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024 match, the USA's premier batsman Aaron Jones said that he is excited to play against India. "It is actually exciting, me growing up as a kid, I always wanted to play against the best players in the world. I'm definitely going to get the opportunity to do that now and it's exciting for me, I don't want to say intimidating," Jones said in the pre-match press conference.
Jones has delivered remarkable knocks in his previous two outings. USA's Saurabh Netravalkar and his few teammates are of Indian origin and have played alongside some of the current Team India's players.
