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.
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.
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. Following a barrage of dot balls, Hardik Pandya further dented the batting order by removing the dangerous Aaron Jones and finished off with a brilliant economical spell with a couple of wickets to his name. Axar Patel then broke a brewing partnership by getting rid of Taylor and Arshdeep Singh got another crucial wicket to his name. Arshdeep Singh bowled one of the best spells of the competition by conceding just 9 runs and taking 4 wickets off his quota of four overs. Jasprit Bumrah however, stayed wicketless but also didn't concede many runs either and India manage to clean up well in the death overs.
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 failed to get off the blocks. As a result, the USA crawled through the Powerplay overs. The pressure continued to mount on the USA batters as Jones found it extremely challenging to negotiate the high-quality bowling from the Indian attack. In an attempt to relieve the pressure, Aaron Jones attempted an aggressive shot, but his effort backfired, leading to his dismissal, leaving his team in all sorts of misery. Nitish Kumar and opener Steven Taylor, however, gave some impetus adding 31 runs together but couldn't convert their starts into big scores. Corey Anderson then struck a six and a four before getting out. But after Anderson's departure, USA fell like a house of cards and couldn't finish on a high but somehow crept past the triple figures
