ICC World Cup 2023 Qualifiers, Match 2, West Indies vs USA: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

West Indies and United States are set to face each other in a Group A match of the World Cup 2023 Qualifiers on Sunday, June 18. The Takashinga Sports Club in Harare Sports Club will host the contest.

West Indies, led by Shai Hope, will hope to improve their performance in the 50-over format to stake claim for the spot in the showpiece event. While most of their big players did not take part in the series against the UAE, all of them have returned.

Nicholas Pooran is expected to play a key role for them in the middle-order after playing some match-winning knocks for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023.

Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein and Alzarri Joseph will also go into the tournament after some handy performances for their respective franchises in the cash-rich IPL.

USA also have a strong squad with a blend of young and experienced players. Steven Taylor, Gajanand Singh, Monank Patel and Saurabh Netravalkar are some of their key players.
