Beginning on June 2, the USA and Caribbean countries will serve as the hosts of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. It will be a jointly hosted event and the USA Cricket Team automatically qualifies for the tournament as they are one of the hosts. Let us go through every aspect of this team.

Currently, the team has played 11 matches in the ICC Twenty20 and is ranked 19th with 1662 points and a rating of 151. The team has been on a steady rise in recent years and you can even compare its January ranking, which was 23rd. This year, we will get to see the team’s performance among the other top teams.

Their recent match against Bangladesh was shocking, as they won by five wickets. Bangladesh is a well-established cricket team, giving tough competition to the top-ranked teams but losing to a newly emerging team was something that put the USA’s Cricket team in the spotlight.

They are automatically qualified to play in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 but will they be able to go too far? For that, you need to analyze their batting and bowling lineup, which we have presented below. We also need to go through their strengths and weaknesses to finalize their chances in the tournament.

The batting line of the USA is aggressive and experienced, including Gajanand Singh, Aaron James, Sushant Modani, Saiteja Mukkamalla, and Marty Kain. Corey Anderson is an allrounder from New Zealand and Harmeet Singh, an Indian U-19 star, played exceptionally well in the recent match against Bangladesh on May 21, 2024, and showed the USA’s team capabilities.

While the Batting lineup of the USA is explosive and consists of promising batters, the bowling lineup is not that much polished. USA does not have the luxury of a deep bench, despite having some promising bowlers. The main bowlers of the team are Saurabh Netravalkar and Ali Khan, who are the pacers. The United States is still in the early stages of developing its bowling infrastructure because it lacks the resources of other established teams.

If we look at their recent performances, we can see that they are improving at a rapid pace, and if they keep it up, they may reach new heights soon. Their recent victories over Bangladesh and Ireland have sent a strong message to the cricket world about their emergence. The upcoming tournament will offer them a proper stage to show their talent among the giant teams.
