India persisted their winning streak in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, defeating hosts USA via a comfortable 7-wicket margin to secure their vicinity inside the Super 8 stage.
Electing to bowl first, Rohit Sharma's choice proved to be a masterstroke as Arshdeep Singh dismantled the American batting order with profession-great figures of 4/9. Restricted to a meagre one hundred ten/eight of their 20 overs, the strain become firmly on the USA batsmen.
Despite early struggles for their megastar batsmen Virat Kohli (0) and Rohit Sharma (three), dismissed by means of the dazzling Saurabh Netravalkar (2/18), India remained on top of things. Rishabh Pant (18) and Suryakumar Yadav (50*) steadied the ship with a 29-run partnership earlier than Shivam Dube (31*) joined Yadav on the crease.
Yadav, after more than one low ratings, determined his touch with a match-prevailing unbeaten fifty (50* off 49 balls), including a vital 72-run stand with Dube for the 4th wicket. The partnership ensured India chased down the target with 1.Eight overs to spare.
While Ali Khan (1/21) managed to pick out up any other wicket for USA, disciplined bowling from Jasdeep Singh (0/24) and Corey Anderson (0/17) ensured India faced minimal resistance. A 5-run penalty imposed on USA for a sluggish over price in addition hampered their possibilities.
With this win, India tops Group A and advances to the Super eight degree. The combat for the second spot from the group stays extensive open, with USA, Pakistan, and Ireland all vying for qualification.
