"We [USA] are hungry, and are going to try to eat whoever comes in our way. This is a time where we can make some changes and adjust....I am sure USA will do some upset [in the T20 World Cup]. We need to put USA out there on the world cricket map.....winning the series is not a fluke. We have the talent, skills and the ability if given the opportunities," Ali Khan, the star USA bowler said after the series win against Bangladesh.
Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties and it's proven every day on the pitch of 22 yards. This time I want to bring in your kind attention about the recent series win by USA against Bangladesh. This series win is historic fo US not only because it's their first one but also because it has come against a team that's much higher in terms of rankings. (US is 19th and Bangladesh is 9th) In an unexpected manner, USA shocked a full-strength Bangladesh side for the second successive time in a 3-match T20I series in Houston to script history. The Asian side were handed a major wake-up call ahead of the T20 World Cup by the USA, who punched above their weight to take a 2-0 unbeatable lead in the series. Bangladesh were bowled out for 138 in 19.3 overs as they fell short of a 145-run target at the Prairie View Cricket Complex.
We are no walkovers. Our potential is immense. We have a lot of match-winners in the team. It gives us the edge. We bat as well now," said star of the first match win Harmeet Singh.
USA has definitely announced its arrival in a big way for the upcoming world cup. They are now rightly 'no walkovers'. The win against Bangladesh suggested that as the hosts they used the home condition to their advantage. Considering the matches of US in the t20 world cup will also be played on their home grounds, all big teams should now beware the US enthusiasm.
As of now, every team is busy playing some T20 form of cricket with other nation. In the hope of good preparation for t20 world cup, Bangladesh arrived early in the US to play a bilateral series against the US. But Bangladesh wouldn't have thought that they would be handed out a shameful defeat by a team that's not even a full member side of International Cricket Council.
If you're just wondering about US odds of winning the world cup. I would suggest you to not judge any team according to their rankings or past performances in Cricket. On their day any team can beat any team. All that matters in a Cricket match is how players perform in those 40 overs.If this isn't true then how came India win 1983 world cup.
Yes, in case you aren't aware, India wasn't given any chance of winning the marquee event befor it began. Also India's rank wasn't great either. It was the time when West Indian Cricket dominated the world cricket. Their fuming fast bowling attack was such that it could send shivers down to anyone. Their batting was like that never gave respect to any bowler. But one team, India came ahead with belief and reached the finals of 1983 to beat the monsters of that era.
So, don't just jump in and out with odds. They are now set and well balanced. IMO, no side is favourite, none are underdogs. This year's world cup has the most number of teams so the matches will also be more. The fun will be more. The market of speculations will be more. The glorious uncertainties will be more.
