MATCH PREVIEW
If there is one key takeaway from the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, it is that the associate nations have arrived not merely to participate, but to compete.
Their fearless approach against established teams has added fresh energy to the tournament, and two such sides — the United States of America and Namibia — will square off in a Group A encounter on Sunday.
The USA heads into the contest with momentum and a clear advantage in familiarity with the conditions, having thumped the Netherlands by a commanding 93-run margin on Thursday.
Skipper Monank Patel has been solid at the top, while No. 3 Saiteja Mukkamalla has provided stability and fluency at key junctures. The middle order, anchored by Shubham Ranjane, has also contributed crucial runs at critical moments.
