USA finishes with 110/8! |
| 0.0 : India finish on a high note and have managed to squeeze up the USA to mere 110. A clinical bowling performance collectively from India. The US were inserted to bat first, and faced a disastrous start as they lost opener Shayan Jahangir who was in for the injured Monank Patel on the very first delivery of the match, followed by the dismissal of the in-form Andries Gous. The early loss of two wickets proved to be a significant setback for the batters to follow, as they struggled to score runs and |
| On the other hand, India could not have asked for a better start as Arshdeep Singh delivered a double blow in the very first over, dismissing two crucial batters and sending them back to the pavilion. Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah further compounded the pressure by asking probing questions to the batters, consistently beating the edges of their bats and giving them no room to score at all. Â Following a barrage of dot balls, Hardik Pandya further dented the batting order by removing the dang |
| Nitish Kumar is up for a quick flash interview. He says that they are still a bit disappointed as they were in a good position to get 15-20 runs more. Adds that this is still a difficult wicket to bat and they thinks 110 is a good score. Mentions that he enjoyed his batting and it is always nice to play in front of a big crowd. Ends by saying they will give their all to defend this one. |
| Right then, India have 111 to chase it down and advance to the Super 8 stage but for that, they will have to bring their A-game to the middle with the bat. The USA surely might think that they have a fair chance to restrict India given the way the low-scoring thrillers on this ground have panned out, but India surely are the favorites here with a strong batting line up. Stay tuned as the run chase is up next in a few moments.  |
