United States vs England, Super 8 T20 WC Live Score: Holders England face a tricky USA in their final Super 8 game at the T20 World Cup and will be relying on their power hitters to secure a significant victory and maintain their chances of reaching the semis. In their previous match against South Africa, England's batters struggled to deliver the necessary big hits while pursuing a target of 164, resulting in a close seven-run defeat. The group has become more competitive following West Indies' resounding nine-wicket triumph over the USA, putting pressure on England to achieve a substantial win to improve their net run-rate, which could be a deciding factor in the end. Currently, South Africa lead Group 2 with two victories, while both West Indies and England have one win and one loss each, with the former having a superior NRR. However, no team has guaranteed a spot in the semis, and England's fate will depend on defeating the USA by either 10 runs or with at least an over to spare. For the USA, the Super 8s hve been a reality check following their impressive performance in the group stage. They have suffered consecutive losses and their chances of reaching the semifinals are slim, relying on a miraculous combination of results. The USA will need to beat England by a massive margin of 80 runs and hope that South Africa defeat West Indies by more than 67 runs to qualify based on NRR.

They suffered successive losses and their entry into the semifinal will be a miracle as they are alive in the tournament only mathematically. USA will need to beat England by 80 runs in their final game and also hope that South Africa outwits WI by more than 67 runs to make the semifinal on the basis of NRR.
USA vs ENG Live Score - Adil, Archer in focus
In the bowling unit, Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer have been their standout bowlers with 13 and 12 wickets each but Mark Wood's form will be a cause of worry as apart from a three-wicket haul, he couldn't get any wicket in his last 5 T20Is.
USA vs ENG Live Score - England big-hitters need to step up!
England batters produced an authoritative performance against the West Indies but they failed to tame the SA bowlers and faltered in their chase of 164 on Friday. Phil Salt has been in great form, having blasted two centuries, a fifty, and three thirties in his last 10 T20Is but his early dismissal meant England couldn't get the explosive start as Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow couldn't quite bring out the big shots. Harry Brook (53) and Liam Livingstone (33) played sensibly to take the chase deep but England eventually failed to score 25 runs in the last three overs. However, despite the loss, England's batting remains a formidable force which the likes of Saurabh Netravalkar and Harmeet Singh will find tough to tame.
I think every match we play, obviously, representing the country is important. So, we'll definitely go hard against England and try to finish well. Obviously, we can't advance to the next round. But as I say, I think every match you play for your country is important. So, we're definitely going to try to win the game for sure.
USA skipper Aaron Jones after previous game
We've just got to win the game. We haven't played them before so it'll be a good challenge and we're looking forward to it. The games come thick and fast now so we've got to dust ourselves down and go again. We've had a great win against the West Indies, a great game today which was a shame not to win but we're still in it and looking ahead to the next one.

USA vs ENG Live Score - Group 2 scenarios
West Indies' massive nine-wicket win over the USA has opened up the group, leaving England with the task of notching up a big victory to push their net run-rate up as it might come down to it in the end. While South Africa are currently sitting atop the Group 2 with two wins, both West Indies and England have a win and a loss each with the former having a better NRR than the latter. However, no team is assured of a semifinal berth and England will need to defeat USA by either 10 runs or at least an over to spare to stay in contention for the semifinals. For South Africa, a loss -- even in a Super Over -- against WI in their final match will knock them out of the race if England can achieve their task. If SA win and England lose to USA, it will again be a three-way tie between WI, ENG and USA for the second spot and the team with better run-rate will go through to the knockout stage.
