In the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 game, West Indies chased down a target of 129 set by the USA with ease, thanks to an explosive innings by Shai Hope. With this win, West Indies now sit in second place in Group 2, behind South Africa who have won both their games. However, West Indies have the best Net Run Rate (NRR) in the group at 1.81, ahead of South Africa’s NRR of 0.63 and England’s NRR of 0.41.
The match saw a delayed toss due to light rain at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, with the threat of rain looming for the rest of the game. Despite a defeat to England in their first Super 8 encounter, West Indies are determined to bounce back and secure their third T20 World Cup title. On the other hand, the USA has had a mixed performance in the tournament so far, with wins against Canada and Pakistan, and a close game against South Africa. They have shown potential in their matches, including a strong performance against India in the group stage, indicating that they are still in the running despite losing to West Indies.
