The action will continue in the Super 8 stages of the T20 World Cup 2024 as co-hosts USA and West Indies will take on each other in Match 46 at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados. Both teams are coming into the game having lost their respective first matches in the Super 8 and hence will face off in a must-win clash.
West Indies suffered a crushing eight-wicket loss against the defending champions England in St Lucia which puts them in a precarious situation in the tournament. On the other hand, USA once again came agonisingly close of creating another upset as they almost chased down a massive score of 196 but eventually lost by 18 runs.

According to weather.com, there are slight chances of rain during the course of the game with 24% chance of precipitation. Cloud cover will remain throughout the course of the game but there won’t be many interruptions, hence fans can expect a full-fledged 40-over game.
Meanwhile, the fixture is extremely crucial for both teams as one more loss will put them on the verge of being knocked out from the tournament. West Indies advanced to the Super 8 stage after a dominant run in Group C where they won all of their four fixtures. On the other hand, the USA has impressed everyone in the tournament so far with their fighting spirit against the big teams.
They beat Pakistan in their second clash via a super over and later were involved in an intense battle against India. The Monank Patel-led further gave a major scare to South Africa in their first Super 8 clash before eventually losing against them. Hence, USA will be expected to give West Indies a run for their money in the upcoming fixture and may possibly register their second big win of the tournament. The upcoming clash is a highly anticipated affair for fans as both hosts of the tournament go head to head against each other.
