What is the Pitch Report for ENG vs USA, ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Super 8s, Match 49?
Since it’s a morning game the ball does a lot in the first few overs making it a little difficult for the batters. Out of the six complete matches played here in the tournament, no team hasn’t scored beyond the 170 run-mark while chasing whereas the teams batting first have scored more than that twice.

Pre-Match Analysis:
England with a net run rate of 0.412 has an excellent chance of cementing their place in the knockouts for that all they need to do is, win their 3rd and final Super 8 contest by a big margin against the USA to ensure their net run rate is above South Africa (0.625), in case of the latter wins their game against co-hosts West Indies. With ruthless batting from Phil Salt and Jonny Bairstow, the Three Lions thrashed West Indies in their opening Super 8 game by 8 wickets. The victory taste didn’t last long and a couple of days later they lost to Proteas by 7 runs, failing to chase 163.
Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone lifted the side from 4 for 61 to 5 for 139 but they had to bow down for the skillful bowling and gun fielding from the Proteas. Earlier in the game Jofra Archer excelled with the ball, picking up 3 wickets and skipper Jos Buttler caught the eyeballs with his mesmerizing wicketkeeping where he took a one-handed stunner and dismissed Heinrich Klaasen with a direct hit throw. At present, they are placed 3rd in the Group 2 standings with 2 points.
The journey is almost over for the United States of America who lost their first two Super 8 games. They put up a brilliant fight back in their 18-run loss against South Africa but that was lacking against West Indies where they got humbled by 9 wickets. They were trapped for pace and spin, eventually getting bowled out for a modest 128. In response, the bowlers had no clue whatsoever and got drilled to all parts, and in the end, the match was over with 55 balls to spare.
The dip in the form of stand-in skipper Aaron Jones is a matter of concern as he made only 22 in the last 3 innings. They made a couple of changes that also even didn’t help. The USA are almost out of the tournament and will look to spoil England’s semi-finals qualification.
