Summary: India qualifies for the Super 8 after defeating USA in a Group A match.
India advanced to the Super 8 stage of the 2017 T20 World Cup after defeating co-hosts USA by 7 wickets in the Group A match on June 12 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
Arshdeep Singh's pace blitz, which resulted in four wickets, deserves the most of the credit for yesterday's victory. Suryakuamar Yadav and Shivam Dube's 72-run partnership also contributed significantly to the team's victory over the United States.
India defeated USA by seven wickets thanks to a gutsy half-century from Suryakumar Yadav and his partnership with Shivam Dube. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma and veteran Virat Kohli failed to score runs. India entered the Super 8s with this victory, as USA got penalized 5 runs for maintaining a slow over rate.
Saurabh Netravalkar struck early, sending India down one wicket in the opening over and dismissing Kohli for a golden duck. In his second over, Netravalkar struck again, sending captain Rohit reeling as India found themselves at 10/2. India's concerns will increase after RishabhBowl Pant was also dismissed by Ali Khan.
Arshdeep Singh took four wickets, with Hardik Pandya adding two, as India held USA to 110/8 in their T20 World Cup match. Nitish Kumar led the way for the USA with 27 runs. Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bowl first against Aaron Jones' United States in the T20 World Cup 2024 on Wednesday at New York's Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
During the match, the United States became the first to receive a five-run penalty under the new stop-clock rules. They were punished at the start of the 16th over, and instead of needing 35 runs from 30 balls to accomplish their 111-run mark, India's burden was reduced to 30 runs from 30 deliveries. Despite the defeat, the United States are still going to the second round given they win or draw their last group game against Ireland on Friday.
