Match No. 3 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, which pits India (IND) against the United States of America (USA), will return to Mumbai's legendary Wankhede Stadium in style on Saturday, February 7. The Men in Blue, led by Suryakumar Yadav, will try to win the championship again.

The competition offers India an opportunity to become accustomed to the high-stakes format. The bowling attack is anticipated to be led by Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Arshdeep Singh, with help from all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel. Ishan Kishan, Rinku Singh, and captain Suryakumar Yadav could be crucial to the team's batting success. The Mumbai playing experiences of Shubham Ranjane, Harmeet Singh, and Saurabh Netravalkar will be helpful to the USA. The team lost its second warm-up match against New Zealand by just 7 runs, proving that they can score more than 200.

The game may be high-scoring due to the flat field and shorter boundary lines at Wankhede Stadium. Although quick bowlers can produce some movement in the early overs, the pitch is often favourable for hitters.
