According to a report in The Indian Express, Jasprit Bumrah is unwell and will therefore not play in the match against the USA. Harshit Rana has also been ruled out of the tournament due to injury, and the BCCI has included Mohammed Siraj in the squad as his replacement. Siraj joined the Indian team on Friday.
According to the report, Bumrah has a viral fever. The Indian team management would not want to risk playing him in the match against the USA in this condition. Bumrah did come to the ground the day before the match, but he did not practice. With Bumrah out, Mohammed Siraj might get a chance in the playing XI today.

- Sanju Samson is going through a bad patch and did not perform well in the series against New Zealand.
- Ishan Kishan made full use of the opportunities he got against New Zealand and played consistently strong innings in the series, including a century.
- Ishan also scored a half-century in the practice match against South Africa and strengthened his claim for a place in the top order.
- Sanju Samson did not get a chance to bat in the practice match. Moreover, Ishan Kishan opened the innings with Abhishek in that match, instead of Samson.
- Ishan Kishan is also a wicketkeeper, so there is a higher probability that Ishan will be part of the playing XI against the USA instead of Samson.
