T20 World Cup 2024: The United States of America are amongst the biggest stories in this year's T20 World Cup, as the associate nation have created history by qualifying for their first-ever knockout stage of the mega event. They also created a unique history by becoming the first associate nation ever to defeat Pakistan at the T20 World Cup and in the process, knocked the 2022 edition runners-up out of the competition.

Upon accomplishing such unimaginable tasks in such a short period of time, the Aaron Jones-led team deserves its flowers and 'The White House' shared a special message for the cricket team ahead of their Super 8 fixtures, as they wished them well.

Thank you @WhiteHouse National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby for your kind words. We’ll be sure to use your encouragement as motivation for our upcoming matches in the West Indies! 💪#WeAreUSACricket 🇺🇸

Can USA's Tricky Bowling Topple Inconsistent Batting Order Of South Africa?

South Africa have an infamous history of choking and bottling in the knockout stages of the ICC events and their batting in the tournament has so far been shambolic, especially their top order, who have failed to complement the bowlers' efforts. The bulk of scoring has been done by the ever-reliable duo of Heinrich Klassen and David Miller.

USA have nothing to lose and have already done way more that what was expected of them and the co-host nation, for this reason, can hold a psychological edge over the Proteas, who have their best shot at the silverware in recent years.
