India’s playing eleven could be like this
Indian opener Abhishek Sharma would again like to give India an explosive start. Due to Sanju Samson’s poor form, Ishan Kishan can be fielded as an opening batsman in his place. Tilak Verma and captain Suryakumar would like to play big innings in the middle order. Arshdeep Singh can lead the bowling attack.
Probable XI: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Varun Chakraborty, Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah.

In the USA team, captain Monank and Andreas Gaus would like to give a strong start to the team as openers. Similarly, Saiteja Mukkamalla and Shayan Jahangir will have the responsibility of handling the middle order.
