Toss United States of America chose to bowl vs India
Immediately speculation around 300 went around. India come in with three scores of 250 or more since the last World Cup. Overall, their four scores of 250 or more are the highest by any side during this cycle. Playing against a less established side, on the batting paradise of Wankhede Stadium, all eyes were on the total India were going to get.
The USA, a lot of them immigrants from India, were playing their first match in India. Hrameet Singh, Saurabh Netravalkar and Shubham Ranjane were three men in the first XI who started their cricket in Mumbai. The big-hitting wicketkeeper-batter Andries Gous came back into the XI after he missed their last T20I, the North America T20 Cup final last year.
