NEW YORK – India displayed a dominant performance, securing a comfortable 7-wicket victory against the United States in their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 encounter. Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, India’s bowlers put on a disciplined display to restrict the USA to a modest total.
USA’s Innings: A Struggle for Momentum
The USA’s innings got off to a shaky start, losing opener Shayan Jahangir for a duck. Steven Taylor and Nitish Kumar provided some resistance, contributing 24 and 27 runs respectively, but the rest of the batting lineup struggled to find their footing against a relentless Indian attack.expand_more

India’s Chase: Clinical and Composed

Despite losing captain Rohit Sharma early, Suryakumar Yadav anchored the innings with a brilliant half-century (50 runs off 49 balls). He found valuable support from Shivam Dube, who contributed a quickfire 31 runs. Rishabh Pant also played a crucial cameo, adding 18 runs to the total.
For the USA, Saurabh Netravalkar was the most successful bowler, taking two wickets. However, India’s batting depth proved too much for the American bowlers as they reached the target of 111 runs in just 18.2 overs.
