West Indies’ hopes of a third title and first on home soil suddenly look much shakier than they did one game ago after a reprieved England rediscovered their best form in St Lucia to put them to the sword. Another defeat would put them on the brink of elimination.
Aaron Jones’ side, too, needs a win to retain realistic hopes of qualification, but they will be aware the weight of expectations remains on their opponents. The game against South Africa was the USA’s weakest bowling performance on a belting track, and still gave South Africa a few jitters. Against a West Indies side who weren’t close to their best with either bat or ball against England, the USA will know an improved bowling performance on their part gives them a realistic shot at keeping their fairytale campaign alive and kicking.
USA – LLWWL
WI – LWWWW
Bridgetown has seen relatively high scores in comparison to the rest of the tournament, though it did play host to the low-scoring tie between Namibia and Oman at the start of the tournament. It will be a humid evening, with chances of rain low. The pitch at Kensington Oval offers a balanced contest between bat and ball, making it favourable for both batsmen and bowlers. The surface provides good bounce and carry, aiding stroke play, but bowlers can also find assistance, especially under lights.

Both the co-hosts are coming from their 1st defeats in the Super 8 duel. West Indies are undoubtedly a stronger team. However, their bowling has been a concern against England. USA, meanwhile, fought their best and did not give up against South Africa after a bad start in the powerplay. They will fight again for sure. We expect a close match and West Indies to be the favourite.
