Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan will open the innings for India, while Saurabh Netravalkar takes the new ball for USA as the match gets underway.

Nick Knight and Robin Uthappa say the pitch is perfect for batters. There’s a bit of grass to help the fast bowlers early, but once it settles, it’s likely to be a run-fest. Spinners won’t get much turn, while batters will look to clear the ropes. Some USA players know Mumbai conditions, but even they will find this wicket tough to stop the flow of runs.

India: Ishan Kishan(w), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj

USA: Saiteja Mukkamalla, Andries Gous (wk), Monank Patel (capt), Milind Kumar, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Harmeet Singh, Shubham Ranjane, Mohammad Mohsin, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan

India captain Suryakumar Yadav said, "Of course there'll be a little bit of pressure, but we want to play the same way we have in the last one or two years." He also mentioned the team is adjusting with Mohammed Siraj coming in for Jasprit Bumrah.

USA skipper Monank Patel said, "World Cup is one of the biggest stages for us. We played a couple of warmup games and had a good run there." He added that his team is ready to face the challenge with six batters, two all-rounders, and three bowlers.

Sanju Samson is not part of India’s playing XI, while Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out after feeling unwell making way for Mohammed Siraj.

USA skipper Monank Patel wins the toss and opts to bowl first against India in Mumbai.
