The third match of ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is to be played between India and America. In the last edition, America had traveled till the Super-8 stage, due to which it has qualified for this tournament. America had defeated Pakistan in the group stage of the last T20 World Cup. However, if he presents a strong challenge to Team India, it will be a big deal for him.
Team India would like to make a strong start to its title defence. Eyes will be on Ishan Kishan who is in good form. Ishaan has confirmed his place in the playing XI by scoring a half-century and a century in the recent T20 series against New Zealand. He was sent to open in the warm-up match against South Africa. It has become clear that now he is going to open with Abhishek in the T20 World Cup also.

Varun or Kuldeep in Wankhede?
The India-America clash will take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The boundaries here are small and the pitch does not provide much help to the spinners. In such a situation, Team India will be able to field only one of Varun Chakraborty and Kuldeep Yadav. It is more likely that Varun will get a chance. Vice-captain Axar Patel is already a spinner option in the team. The responsibility of fast bowling will be on the shoulders of Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh.
