ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, Match 21: USA vs NED, head-to-head, pitch report and predicted playing XIs

USA will play the Netherlands in Match 21 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which will be played on Friday, February 13, 2026, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The USA will try to win and break their losing streak, while the Netherlands will continue their winning consistency.

The USA have struggled in their initial matches, losing both games played so far. Their last game was against Pakistan, where they attempted to chase a large total but failed to do so, although Shayan Jahangir and Shubham Ranjane played well. The batting showed promise, but the bowling unit will need to improve if they want to register their first win.

The Netherlands, on the other hand, bounced back strongly after losing their opener. They defeated Namibia comfortably in their second match. Bas de Leede was the standout performer with a match-winning knock and a useful spell with the ball. With one win and one loss, the Dutch side will look to grab another victory and improve their chances of reaching the next stage.
