The co-hosts have lost both of their Super Eight matches first against South Africa and then versus fellow co-hosts West Indies. The forecast conditions at the Kensington Oval are directing at another wash-out but the Jos Buttler & Co. are very hopeful of a full-fledged match.

England need to register a big win on Sunday to maintain a better net run rate than South Africa and West Indies. A washout will blur their chances of qualification for semis.

The return of Monank Patel, the regular captain of the USA team, is still unclear as he is out of the playing XI after sustaining a shoulder injury. Aaron James has been leading the side in his absence and the USA have failed to win any match after the league stage.

USA Vs ENG, Pitch Report:

The pitch at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados assists batters but also has something to offer to spinners. There might be some sluggishness in the pitch, so cutters and slow bowlers may get some assistance from the surface. Batting second will be helpful for the batters as the surface will settle in the evening. Expect a high-scoring match.
