In the third match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, which takes place in Mumbai on February 7, India faces off against the USA. The USA has won the toss and decided to bowl first, putting pressure on India as the defending champions.

The Indian cricket team is fielding a lineup without key players Jasprit Bumrah, who is absent due to illness, and Sanju Samson. In addition to these, Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar were also left out of the playing eleven, which might affect India's overall performance. The final playing eleven includes players like Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya, highlighting a mix of experience and youth.
