In an exciting clash at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, India triumphed over the United States of America by 7 wickets in Match 25, held at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. Opting to bowl first, India showcased a stellar performance with both ball and bat, securing a comfortable victory and further solidifying their position in the tournament.
Arshdeep Singh wreaks havoc
After losing the toss, the USA was put to bat first and managed to score 110 for 8 in their allotted 20 overs. The American batsmen found it challenging to deal with the Indian bowling attack, led by the exceptional Arshdeep Singh.
Steven Taylor was the top scorer for the USA with 24 runs off 30 balls, hitting 2 sixes. Nitish Kumar provided some resistance with 27 runs off 23 deliveries, including 2 fours and 1 six. Corey Anderson contributed a quick 15 off 12 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup struggled to build significant partnerships.
Arshdeep was the standout bowler for India, taking 4 wickets for just 9 runs in his 4 overs, earning him the Player of the Match award. Hardik Pandya also impressed, claiming 2 wickets for 14 runs in his 4 overs. Despite some disciplined bowling from Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah, who both went wicketless, they effectively contained the USA batters, conceding only 25 runs each in their respective 4 overs.

Clinical chase led by Suryakumar Yadav
Chasing a modest target of 111, India faced an early setback, losing their star openers Rohit Sharma (3 runs off 6 balls) and Virat Kohli (0 runs off 1 ball) cheaply. However, Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav steadied the ship with a crucial partnership.
Suryakumar played a composed innings, scoring 50 runs off 49 balls, including 2 fours and 2 sixes. He was well supported by Shivam Dube, who scored an unbeaten 31 runs off 35 deliveries, featuring 1 four and 1 six. Pant contributed 18 runs off 20 balls before falling to Ali Khan. The duo of Suryakumar and Dube ensured that India chased down the target with ease, reaching 111 for 3 in 18.2 overs.
For the USA, Saurabh Netravalkar was the pick of the bowlers, taking 2 wickets for 18 runs in his 4 overs. Ali also chipped in with a wicket, conceding 21 runs in his 3.2 overs. Despite their efforts, the American bowlers could not prevent India from cruising to victory.

Good win for India. SKY’s mature 50 & fantastic bowling by the team, especially Arshdeep Singh was commendable 👏🏾 USA put up a good fight but it wasn’t their day today.

This is the highest run-chase ever in New York, and #India has beaten USA to do this. This doesn’t take away the fact that these pitches act variably in every match. Can this change in the knockout stages?#INDvsUSA#T20WC2024 pic.twitter.com/zN1rq6wkFV
