India vs USA Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: Arshdeep Singh Takes 3 Wickets, USA 96/6 (17)

WICKET!

India have got the wicket they dearly wanted, and it is Hardik Pandya who got the job done. None of the USA batters have managed to execute the pull shot flawlessly on this pitch, but that did not stop Anderson from trying his luck. Unfortunately for him, luck was on India’s side as he ended up top-edging it, and Rishabh Pant took a fine catch.

USA: 96/6 after 17 overs.

This is bizarre. Jasprit Bumrah, often India’s most economical bowler, is being taken for runs here. His third over saw Corey Taylor hitting a boundary and Harmeet Singh hitting a six, as 14 runs came from the 16th over of the innings.

USA: 95/5 after 16 overs.

WICKET!

Nitish Kumar’s tenure has come to an end. Arshdeep Singh is re-introduced into the attack, and for the third time today, a short delivery has worked wonders for India. Kumar goes for the pull but the ball goes more square than he would have preferred. Siraj was stationed at deep square and he takes a fantastic catch to give India their fifth wicket.

USA: 81/5 after 15 overs.

Now it is Corey Anderson’s turn to get on the attack, as he dispatches Axar Patel for a six. Fun fact – both of these batters, Kumar and Anderson, made their international debuts for different teams. Nitish Kumar is a former Canada player, while Anderson, of course, used to represent New Zealand.

USA: 80/4 after 14 overs.
