Teams Analysis
United States of America (USA):
They have impressed a lot with their performances in both the departments. Having less experience in the international circuit to play the ICC tournaments but they didn’t show that they are playing for the first time. This will be their last match in the group stage and if they win this match, then they will advance to the Super 8. Otherwise they have to depend upon the match result for Pakistan vs Ireland, and to hope that Pakistan must lose that match.
Aaron Jones led the team in the last match against India due to the unavailability of Monank Patel. He is currently the leading run scorer for the team 141 runs and has a strike rate of 160.23. He is known for his patience in the middle and once settled down then he can be even more dangerous, which he showed against Canada where he scored 94 runs in 40 balls.
Skipper Monank Patel has shown great bravery against Pakistan where he scored 50 runs and guided his team to tie the match. He got little niggle due to which he did not play against India, but is expected to play against Ireland in the last match. Andries Gous has contributed well in the middle and managed 102 runs till now. His best came against Canada where he scored 65 runs.
Opener Steven Taylor who is known for his destruction from the start has managed only 36 runs and has a strike rate of only 75. He needs to buckle up and give his team a destructive start. The most experienced player in the squad, Corey Anderson who is known for his destruction from the end has managed only 18 runs in 2 innings with a strike rate of 105.88. With the ball he got one wicket with an economy of 7.43.
Saurabh Netravalkar is leading the team in the bowling department as he has got 4 wickets till now. He is the only bowler in the team whose economy is below 6 (5.2). In the match against India, he took the wicket of most stable batter Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Ali Khan and Nosthusha Kenjige got 3 wickets each.

Monank Patel (c & wk), Steven Taylor, Andries Gous, Aaron Jones, Nitish Kumar, Corey Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Jasdeep Singh, Nosthusha Kenjige, Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan.
Ireland (IRE):
A pathetic performance by them in this season as they were unable to put up a great show. Their batting and bowling both have been average especially their batting in which they struggled a lot against the pacers. To maintain their chances for the Super 8, they need to win this match and to a great margin, then only it will create any chances for them to go to the next round.
Batting performance is so bad, that it can be easily guessed that their highest run getter is currently Mark Adair who managed 37 runs in 2 matches. Adair came in the lower order and his best was against Canada where he scored 34 runs. With the bowl he got 2 wickets with an economy of 6.25.
Skipper Paul Stirling has been struggling with the bat as he only managed 11 runs in 2 matches. He has a huge experience in international cricket and needs to show in the remaining matches. Andre Balbirnie also failed to give the team a decent opening as he only managed 22 runs in 2 matches with a strike rate of 75.86.
George Dockrell looked good against Canada where he scored 30 runs with the bat but was unable to get the targeted score in the end.
Barry McCarthy and Craig Young got 2 wickets each till now in the tournament. McCarthy has an economy of 6.63 and Young has an economy of 8.
