USA vs Netherlands Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2026

1 run.

Fuller, outside off, SM gets down on a knee and attempts a hoick, but only succeeds in dragging it off the inner part of the bat towards long on, for a single. Just 5 runs from that over.

On a length, outside off, cutting back in sharply, Saiteja looks to punch it through the off side but is beaten.

WIDE. This one is signalled. For line. Logan goes for the wide yorker outside off, but flirts too much with the guideline. Mukkamalla lets it be and gets the result in his favour.

Outside off, punched down to long off for one.

Too many mosquitoes at Chepauk? That seemed more like a mosquito racuqet rather than a cricket bat. A short ball, outside off, Ranjane hops in the air and swishes the pull but misses. No wide signalled. That seemed pretty high. Yes, the side-on replay confirms that the ball was well above head height. Van Beek gets away with one.

Landed outside off, on a length, Saiteja Mukkamalla goes for the cut but mistimes it through the covers for a run.

On middle and off, Shubham Ranjane works it towards long on for a single.

5 overs left. 15 an over will bring up 225 roughly. Logan van Beek returns. 2-0-14-0 so far.

SIX! LAUNCHED OFF THE RUNWAY! A touch short, around off, Shayan Jahangir goes deep in his crease and pulls it over mid-wicket! 12 from the over, 26 in the last 2!

Banged in short, but into the deck, with pace off, at 113.1 kph. Mukkamalla goes for a flat swipe over the line and miscues it over the bowler. By the time long on can get around, two runs are taken.

On a length, outside off, totally pace off, 115 kph. Saiteja Mukkamalla goes for a big hoick across the line but only gets a thick inside edge onto his pads. That could have so easily been dragged back onto the stumps.

Full, outside off, Ranjane pushes it towards long off for a run.

Full and wide outside off, Shubham Ranjane goes hard over the off side. Slices it over cover and the ball trickles away towards the ropes. But sweeper gets across to his right, dives and pushes the ball back in. Long off gets across to his left and returns the ball. Two runs taken, two saved.

On a length, outside off, from around the wicket, with the keeper upto the stumps. Saiteja Mukkamalla punches it through the covers for a single.

DRINKS BREAK. After a bit of a blip, the USA have started to pile on the runs again. 31 runs have come in the last 3 overs and the platform looks set for the 200-mark or even more, if a set batter bats deep. Or both. Netherlands have been under the pump tonight, but we have seen how games can change at the death. If they can manage to bowl a couple of quiet overs, they might get a wicket and suddenly, the floodgates might open. Fred Klaassen is back on. 2-0-20-1 so far.

Full, on middle and leg, pushed towards long on for a run. 14 from the over, Roelof van der Merwe has gone for 36 runs in his 3 overs, without a single dot ball!

Third couple on the trot! Outside off, a fraction short, Saiteja punches it through point and scampers back once again. The stand moves to 30 (17).

Outside off, carved over cover this time and excellent work by Colin Ackermann at the cover fence. Two more to the total.

Outside off, Mukkamalla leans and goes inside out, lofting it wide of long off, to his left. Two runs taken and Mukkamalla moves to 60 (38).
