Here we will discuss the main points of United States National Cricket Team vs India National Cricket Team Match Scorecard.
Toss
Rohit Sharma of India won the toss and elected to bowl first at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Meanwhile, USA captain Aaron Jones wanted to bat on what appeared to be an easy outfield surface.
Shayan Jahangir fell victim to Arshdeep Singh’s short delivery on the second ball, while five balls later, Corey Anderson skied a pull shot straight to midwicket. But Steven Taylor and Nitish Kumar shared an unbreakable 31-run partnership which ultimately proved crucial.
USA had scored 47 runs by halftime, giving them hope of pulling off an upset against one of the world’s finest sides. But Saurabh Netravalkar dropped Virat Kohli off a top edge delivery and could have ended their chances. They now face 110 to win their matchup.
First Over
Following its shocking victory over Pakistan and narrow defeat by India, the USA cricket team has caught the imagination of cricket enthusiasts and novices alike. Led by Saurabh Netravalkar as their breakout star player, these Americans have demonstrated they can hold their own against some of the best players worldwide.
Axar Patel comes on to bowl the third over, giving USA batters Nitish and Taylor an opportunity to score runs off him. Jones reads well his short delivery and sent it into the crowd for a six.
Mohammed Siraj then returned for his final over, taking one wicket with his first delivery and bowling several dot deliveries before Jones connected with a short ball to send it towards the third man fence and score another SIX off just two overs. USA now need 11 off their final two overs to win.
Second Over
Axar Patel continues to deliver with some meticulous work. He bowls a full, on-off slower ball to Suryakumar Yadav who attempts to loft it over extra covers but gets hit on top edge instead. When Saurabh Netravalkar failed to hold on he fell short allowing India to gain another wicket.
This is a crushing blow to the USA, who now face an uphill struggle to reach 110 runs and secure an unprecedented upset against one of cricket’s premier powers.
Andries Gous was caught behind off Axar Patel, while Suryakumar Yadav reached his half century aided by Shivam Dube’s well-judged 31 not out to give India confidence for their chase.
Third Over
As the USA cricket team grapples with this unfamiliar sport, they’ve found company in one of its premier players – Virat Kohli. USA’s Saurabh Netravalkar attempts to take a run-saving catch but the ball sails over his head.
Mohammed Siraj of India has just bowled an outstanding over, keeping USA batsmen off-balance and keeping Jones off balance with short deliveries that Jones connects with beautifully with a swivel pull and sends towards deep third man for a six!
Siraj then bowls a slow ball, prompting Steven Taylor to hit a scoop shot towards mid-off that nearly connects, but unfortunately skids on to the ground and hits both stumps instead of succeeding in its target. USA are 3/2 after three overs; Axar Patel joins to bowl in their fourth over.
Fourth Over
USA got off to a slow start in their fourth over with just one run scoring off it, but they seem determined to build up a total with their batsmen pouring all their effort into their innings.
But things quickly changed after Steven Taylor was trapped LBW by Arshdeep Singh on the very first ball and five balls later Andries Gous blasted an aerial pull shot straight up into the sky.
USA battled hard and gained some momentum thanks to Nitish Kumar and Harmeet Singh’s impressive knocks, pushing their score into three figures before falling short against India who eventually prevailed by seven wickets, likely sealing their place in the Super 8s but giving USA still a shot at advancement by winning their final match against Ireland.
Fifth Over
USA bowlers and batsmen have struggled against India’s quick pace. USA vice-captain Aaron Jones insists they won’t take India lightly and notes many players from his team have grown up alongside Indian players and played against them during their careers.
Mohammed Siraj returns to bowl a fuller ball and Shivam Dube sends it over third man for six, giving USA an additional 55 runs deficit.
USA loses another wicket as India closes in on an unprecedented victory. Now, their co-hosts must win their final match against Ireland to qualify for the Super 8, joining Australia and South Africa who also qualified this way. If they fail, however, it would come as quite a shock; otherwise a draw will suffice; ultimately it all boils down to batting performance.
Sixth Over
New York pitch has gradually improved over the last 10 days, but still proves challenging for batters. India boasts plenty of bowling options – Arshdeep Singh was named player of the match with four wickets.
Corey Anderson and Steven Taylor laid down a strong foundation for USA, but their innings was curtailed by some disciplined bowling from India. Nitish Kumar was then hit for five runs off Mohammed Siraj in the next over.
Axar Patel was introduced as a spin option and quickly allowed just two singles from USA batsmen as they played it safe. USA’s current score stands at 42/3 after 10 overs; winning is unlikely under these circumstances. Their only hope would be catching India napping, yet that seems unlikely at present given how fast things are moving along.
Seventh Over
USA are having difficulty starting off their campaign well but have made some inroads thanks to Nitish Kumar and Corey Anderson who have managed to score runs – their lack of depth remains a worry though.
Axar Patel comes on to bowl the seventh over, getting off with an early single before Corey Anderson hits an incredible six over deep backward square leg. Anderson continues playing aggressive cricket.
Jasprit Bumrah returns for an eighth over, bowling an off-break that cramps Jones before top-edging it directly to the keeper for another loss for USA, now 6 wickets down.
Eighth Over
USA was able to come back strong in the second over and post a respectable score; however, this wasn’t enough to match India. Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten fifty will serve as an inspirational boost for Indian players.
Axar Patel bowls for USA. He strikes first with a single before Corey Anderson hit a six with an impressive slog-sweep over deep midwicket. However, USA are currently in trouble and Axar Patel could help steer them back on course by bowling a dot ball.
USA captain Aaron Jones noted that their bowlers came up 10-15 runs short on this wicket, yet was proud of them and hopes they can improve against Ireland in their next match. India secured their spot in the Super 8 with an impressive win featuring their pace bowlers such as Arshdeep Singh who took 4-9.
Nineth Over
USA have had some success so far in this tournament, defeating Canada and nearly pulling off an impossible run-chase against Pakistan. Saurabh Netravalkar and Ali Khan have led their bowling attack; Steven Taylor, Andries Gous Aaron Jones and Corey Anderson make up their batting lineup.
Rohit Sharma-led India won the toss and elected to bowl first, restricting USA to an impressive total of 110 runs with 6 wickets being lost by them in total. Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya made key contributions, particularly with Arshdeep’s brilliant spin bowling spell against Ali Khan, followed by Mohammed Siraj’s spectacular catch to dismiss Nitish Kumar for another highlight in this match. USA Cricket Team included Monank Patel (c & wk), Aaron Jones, Andries Gous, Corey Anderson Ali Khan Harmeet Singh Jessy Singh Milind Kumar Nisarg Patel Noshtush Kenjige Saurabh Nethralvakar Shadley Van Schalkwyk Steven Taylor Shayan Jahangir.
