India Beat USA By 7 Wickets
India were chasing 111 to win the Group A match, but they lost at 15-2 and 42-3 before Yadav (50) and Shivam Dube (31) made an undefeated fourth-wicket stand of 67 to give Rohit Sharma’s team a third win in three games with 10 balls left.
Even though they lost, the United States of America are still in a good position to join India in the Super Eights because they have four points, while Pakistan and Canada only have two.
Excellent Bowling Spell By Indian Bowlers
Arshdeep Singh’s dangerous bowling asserted two wickets inside first over of T20 World Cup match against USA in New York on Wednesday.
Three scalps were taken during Singh’s spell, making him the first Indian bowler to take a wicket on the very first delivery of the match. He surrendered only 9 runs. Hardik Pandya scored two runs. The most expensive bowler was Axar Patel. During his time there, he gave up 25 runs and took one wicket. The star of the India-Pakistan match in New York tonight, Jasprit Bumrah, was unable to take a single wicket.
Poor Performance By Indian Top Order
Kohli was sent back for a golden duck, and captain Rohit Sharma flopped badly (3 off 6). The USA appeared to be in control as they continued to exert pressure on the Men in Blue and took three wickets. India’s CRR had once fallen below the asking rate. Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube, on the other hand, formed a partnership that brought India back home. Yadav, who at first struggled, hit fifty out of 49 balls.
India Qualifies In Super 8
India’s victory over the USA in New York by seven wickets earned them a spot in the Super 8 of the Twenty20 World Cup in 2024. However, the disciplined bowling efforts of the US bowlers stifled India, and the victory did not come until the very last overs of the match.
