Watch cricket video highlights of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 twenty-fifth match between India vs United States of America. Venue of the match will be New York.
At one point, the USA dared to dream when India was 15 for 2 in pursuit of 111 runs and both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had been bowled by Saurabh Netravalkar. Thirty thousand yelling fans—many of them Indian Americans—gave aspirations additional impetus when Ali Khan castled Rishabh Pant. The USA was now playing to lose. However, India had a crisis manager in Suryakumar Yadav who helped them navigate through rough seas.
Shivam Dube supported him over a pivotal fifty-year partnership that changed the game. India has advanced to the Super Eights, but the United States is still very much in control of their own destiny. They can go over Pakistan, whom they memorably defeated in a thrilling Super Over match last week, with a victory over Ireland, even if it is a washout.
USA was hitting the pitch with cutter bowls. Suryakumar was attempting to fake strokes while having trouble getting the ball off the square. It comes off most of the time. It wasn’t here. He almost got bowled an over ago when he attempted to sweep Corey Anderson off his length, but instead of playing his signature loft shot, he opened his bat face and sliced the ball high. After racing back from short third really well to get to the ball, Saurabh Netravalkar looped beneath it but lost the opportunity. After all, the superhero who was impervious to error up until that point was human.
It was a stunning delivery of the ball that hit Kohli in the opening over. The batsman jabbed after nicking off with a flawless away-going delivery. In T20Is, it was just Kohli’s second golden duck. It was kind of the same ball that hit Rohit. Rohit turned the bat’s face to take the leading edge, but it was much closer to the stumps. Harmeet Singh, a few years Rohit’s junior in school, rushed back and held on at the midway point. India was 15 for 2, and after Rishabh Pant was out to a ball that slipped low and past his defense, they were shortly 44 for 3.
Aaron Jones started changing fields every time a ball was pitched and approaching to talk with the pitcher in between pitches, which gave the hitters an advantage. The USA were twice advised not to start their next over inside their allotted 60 seconds in order to avoid prolonging the match. The umpires gave India five penalty runs after they made a third mistake. India required a run-a-ball thirty from 35 off thirty. It made no difference then that Suryakumar was already out of his 360-degree zone or that Dube had once struggled on 5 off 14.
When Suryakumar used Shadley van Schalkwyk’s medium speed to loft a six over extra cover and produce a characteristic flip over his shoulder for four consecutive deliveries, India finally broke the siege in the 17th over. He reached his 49-ball half-century off the opening ball of the 19th. One good delivery later, Dube hammered a yorker-length delivery to long off, which proved to be the winning run. Dube’s confidence should be boosted by the fact that he persevered through a difficult battle to stay undefeated on 31. This might have easily been another blow that sent his concerns spiraling out of control.
Arshdeep Singh swung the ball back in during the opening over of the day, which lasted two wickets. Replacing Monank Patel, Shayan Jahangir went out leg before wicket, and Andries Gous was caught mid-off while trying to pull a sloppy short ball. The USA didn’t get any momentum that would have allowed them to approach 120 until Nitish Kumar and Corey Anderson put up 25 off 18 going into the final overs.
But overs 16–18 derailed such intentions. After Anderson was removed for the second time by Hardik’s wicket-maiden in the seventeenth over, Arshdeep had Harmeet Singh, who had earlier top-edged Bumrah for a six to get off to a quick start, caught behind. The USA eventually scored 110, and they would later reflect on what could have been if they had just scored ten more.
