India's Bowling Attack
In New York, India and the United States of America lock horns at 3:30 pm UK time. India are two for two, having pulled off a memorable heist against Pakistan at the weekend, though the USA are also unbeaten following wins over Canada and Pakistan. Expect the hosts to come out all guns blazing once more, but the pitch in New York has consistently proven challenging for batsmen, even the very best, and the USA will find this much different to Dallas.
Conversely, India must be commended for overcoming conditions completely alien from those they faced in the IPL only a few weeks ago, and I expect them to have too much for the USA here. Don’t bank on big runs, though, as the bowlers are likely to dominate again. JASPRIT BUMRAH has claimed Man of the Match honours in India’s first two matches, thanks to figures of 2-6 against Ireland and 3-14 against Pakistan.
Perhaps it’s a stretch to expect him to complete the hat-trick, but as long as he isn't rested, the exceptional Bumrah is sure to give the USA’s top order a torrid time before returning to do his thing at the death. I’m happy to back him again at 10/1, along with MOHAMMED SIRAJ, who bowled really well without any reward against Pakistan following his strong finish to the IPL season. Siraj is a prolific new-ball operator, and don’t be surprised if he gets among the wickets early on this spicy New York surface.

Hazlewood Set to Shine
It will certainly be an early start for England fans, or a late one depending on your approach, but JOSH HAZLEWOOD should be worth the lack of sleep, backed for top Australia bowler honours and in the Man of the Match market. Hazlewood is a top-class operator across all three formats, and it might surprise some to learn that he actually has a better strike rate (17.1) in T20Is than even teammate Mitchell Starc (18.2). Adam Zampa comes next with a strike rate of 18.3, while Pat Cummins lags further behind at 19.7. Hazlewood has only claimed one wicket in the first two matches at this World Cup, but he came back brilliantly after a tough start against England and I’m pretty sure a big haul for the New South Wales quick is just around the corner.
When Australia played Namibia in a World Cup warm-up match late last month, Hazlewood returned outstanding figures of 4-3-5-2. Anything like a repeat performance could see him claim Man of the Match honours, and I’m keen to snap up the 12/1 currently on offer.
