Read on as we preview this game which gets underway at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium at 15:00 local time on Thursday 13th June. Although England have completed only one match which they lost against Australia, they also bowled unconvincingly against Scotland in their opening game before it finished as a no-result. They have not been at their best but Oman should provide them with an opportunity to get up and running in the tournament. Oman began the tournament running Namibia very close in their opening game but they have struggled to be competitive since with defeats against Australia and Scotland. We expect England to be far too strong for them with bat and ball. England vs Oman Match Toss PredictionIt is now five consecutive games at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium which have been won by the team fielding first. Therefore we predict that both sides will want to field first and chase in this game. England vs Oman Pitch ReportThis is a good batting wicket in Antigua which offers some turn but also good carry. The top pace bowlers will take the pitch out of the equation and nail their yorkers or produce strong slower balls to be successful here at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. A par score will be over 180 in the first innings. Antigua Weather ReportIt will be warm and humid throughout this game on the island of Antigua.

India beats United States by 7 wickets at the cricket Twenty20 World Cup

WESTBURY, N.Y. — No upset this time for the United States as the home team was easily beaten by cricket heavyweight India at the Twenty20 World Cup on Wednesday. India beats United States by 7 wickets at the cricket Twenty20 World Cup Suryakumar Yadav’s half-century powered India to a seven-wicket win over the U.S., which had shocked Pakistan last week. Now catch your favourite game on Crickit. Anytime Anywhere. Find out how With the win, India reached the “super eight” round. The U.S. needs to beat Ireland on Friday to advance. Yadvav’s 50 runs came off 49 balls included two fours and two sixes. He put on 72 runs off 65 balls for the unbeaten fourth wicket with Shivam Dube, who scored 31 not out as India finished with 111-3 in 18.2 overs in reply to 110-8 by the United States. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh took 4-9 in four overs to restrict the co-hosts after India had won the toss and opted to field at the Nassau County International Stadium. After the U.S. scored 110 runs — well short of an average T20 tally — it was India’s turn to bat. India was in early trouble in its chase as Indian-born medium pacer Saurabh Netravalkar continued his golden run for the Americans. After bowling the co-hosts to the upset over Pakistan, he celebrated the wickets of Indian superstars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Kohli was caught behind for a golden duck — dismissed off the first delivery he faced — in what surely will become a career highlight for Netravalkar. Sharma fell to a slower delivery after just 3 runs, as Netravalkar finished with 2-18 in four overs. Rishabh Pant scored 18 off 20 balls batting at number three, but was bowled off an Ali Khan delivery that slowed low. India was down to 39-3 in 7.3 overs with the U.S. raising visions of an even bigger shock. Yadav and Dube absorbed the pressure, however, and battled hard to dig India out of its hole. They didn’t look to score quickly against the duo’s celebrated natural style of play, instead spending time at the difficult wicket. India crossed 50 only after 11 overs. But the chase was given a boost when five penalty runs were awarded after the 15th over, with the U.S. guilty of running the clock past 60 seconds between overs on three separate occasions. Yadav then took 15 runs off Shadley van Schalkwyk’s 17th over, as India crossed the finish line with relative ease. Earlier, Singh picked two wickets in the very first over as the Americans went down to 3-2. He trapped opener Shayan Jahangir lbw for a golden duck, while Andries Gous was out caught for two. Steven Taylor scored 24 off 30 balls to help recover the innings. Singh returned later on to dismiss top-scorer Nitish Kumar for 27. His knock anchored the innings after the U.S. was down to 56-4 in 11.4 overs. Hardik Pandya also picked 2-14 in his four-over spell, accounting for stand-in skipper Aaron Jones and hard-hitting Corey Anderson . cricket: /hub/cricket This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

‘Could’ve been anyone’s game’, admits India skipper Rohit Sharma after defeating USA by 7 wickets | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday acknowledged the fact that Team India struggled in a below-par chase of 111 despite defeating United States by seven wickets in a T20 World Cup Group A game in New York.With their third win in a row, India qualified for the Super Eight stage riding on a fighting fifty by Suryakumar Yadav and Arshdeep Singh‘s four-wicket haul. The United States faced a challenging start to their innings after being put into bat, with Arshdeep Singh’s devastating spell in the first over. The left-arm pacer claimed the wickets of Shayan Jahangir and Andries Gous, leaving the Americans reeling at 2-2. However, a partnership between Steven Taylor and Nitish Kumar helped stabilize the innings, enabling the United States to post a respectable total of 110-8 in their allotted overs. India’s chase began on a shaky note, as Saurabh Netravalkar struck early, dismissing the experienced duo of Virat Kohli (o) and Rohit Sharma (3) cheaply. With the team in trouble, Suryakumar (50*) and Shivam Dube (31*) took on the responsibility of rebuilding the innings. Yadav’s unbeaten half-century, combined with Dube’s valuable contribution, ensured that India reached the target comfortably, sealing the victory with 10 balls to spare.Rohit gave full credit to the team for chasing down the target as it was going to be a tough task.“We knew it was going to be a tough task, scoring that many. Credit to us for chasing it down. SKY and Dube did well in the end. Lot of the US guys, we’ve played together. Happy with their progress, saw them in MLC too. They’re hard-working guys making a mark. We knew our bowlers had to take the lead as scoring is tough on this pitch,” Rohit said after the match.Rohit, who heaved a big sigh of relief after qualifying for the Super Eight stage, stated that playing in New York pitches wasn’t easy at all.“Arshdeep started off magnificently. We want options with us. As and when we feel like we could use them, we should be and that’s what Dube allowed. Being in the Super Eight is a big relief. Playing here wasn’t easy, could’ve been anyone’s game. Had to stick till the end and take the game as deep as possible. SKY showed he’s got a different game and that’s what you expect from experienced players. Partnership with Dube was crucial,” Rohit added.

5 penalty runs! Rookie mistake from USA that shifted momentum in India’s favour | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: India survived early hiccups to overcome ‘giant killers’ USA and become the third team to qualify for Super Eight stage after Australia and South Africa.With a seven-wicket victory, India remained unbeaten with their third victory on the trot in Group A after defeating Ireland and Pakistan.Chasing 111, India found themselves at the spot of bother at 3/44 in 7.3 overs. Suryakumar Yadav (50*) and Shivam Dube (31*) restored parity with their unbeaten 67-run stand and took India past the finish line in 18.2 overs.T20 World Cup 2024: Points Table | ScheduleIndia struggled to score runs on the challenging Nassau County track, as they reached 76/3 after 15 overs. Surya and Dube, who were at the crease, found it hard to connect with the ball due to the unpredictable nature of the surface.The match took an unexpected turn when the USA team committed a costly error, awarding India five penalty runs and reducing the equation from 35 off 30 to 30 off 30. This sudden shift in momentum proved to be a turning point of the game.The reason for the co-hosts to have been docked five penalty runs was because USA took more than a minute between overs three times. And per the new rules, that’s a penalty.According to the updated regulations, if a team exceeds the allotted 60 seconds to commence a new over on three occasions within an innings, they will face a penalty of five runs being deducted from their total score.The umpires have enforced this rule, and as a result, USA have been docked 5 penalty runs. This decision was made due to the team’s repeated failure to start their overs within the stipulated time frame. The penalty runs will be added to the opposition’s total, putting the USA team at a disadvantage.
