India vs USA, T20 World Cup 2026: USA Win Toss and Elect to Bowl; Bumrah Out with Fever

The atmosphere at Wankhede Stadium is electric as the home favorites, India, kick off their 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup campaign against a spirited USA side. In a bold move, USA captain Monank Patel has won the toss and elected to field first, looking to capitalize on any early assistance from the Mumbai surface before the lights take over.
