After doing well in the last T20 World Cup, the United States of America entered the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 with high hopes. But they lost consecutive games facing India and Pakistan. That has put them very near elimination, and only a miracle can save them from here. Their third group game is against the Netherlands. This is a do-or-die game for their survival.
This game will be live on February 13 (Friday) at MA Chidambaram Stadium, with a scheduled start of 7 PM IST. If the USA lose this game, they will be knocked out of the competition officially. On the other hand, Netherlands have one win and one defeat under their belts. They are coming off a good win over Namibia, and they will be confident of doing well here.

USA vs NED: Players to Watch out for
Netherlands: Shubham Ranjane has been the standout performer for the USA in two games, and he has scored the most runs for this team. The form he is in, he will be a key batter for them.
United States: Bas de Leede has been the biggest match-winner for the Dutch. He is coming off a Player of the Match award against Namibia. His ability to contribute with bat and ball makes him an asset for this game.
United States of America vs Netherlands Today’s Match Prediction: USA have a strong bowling unit, but an injury to Ali Khan and the poor form of Saurabh Netravalkar has also not helped them much. With the bat, Andries Gous and captain Monank Patel have been out of runs. These are their key players and are struggling, which is effecting the team.
But the Netherlands have done well in both games. They were unlucky to lose the game against Pakistan. But it was backed up by a great effort against Namibia and they are looking in great form. That will make them favorites for this game going ahead.
