Suryakumar Yadav's resilient half-century, coupled with a strong partnership with Shivam Dube, led India to a hard-fought 7-wicket victory over the USA. Despite the disappointing performances of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who scored 0 and 3 respectively, India managed to secure the win. The USA was penalized 5 runs for a slow over rate, giving India an advantage as they advanced to the Super 8s with this triumph.
Kohli was dismissed for a golden duck by Saurabh Netravalkar in the first over, putting India on the back foot early on. Netravalkar struck again in his second over, removing skipper Rohit Sharma as India found themselves struggling at 10/2. Rishabh Pant's dismissal by Ali Khan added to India's woes.
