Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh provided India with the ideal start. The pace duo picked up three early wickets putting USA under pressure very early in the chase. Milind Kumar and Sanjay Krishnamurthi stabilised the proceedings after this. But the Indian spinners bowled some economical overs and kept them under pressure. Just when the partnership was looking to develop, Varun Chakaravarthy got the wicket of Milind Kumar bringing them back into the match.
Even after the fall of the six wickets, the Indian captain, Suryakumar Yadav stood tall. He struck an important partnership with Axar Patel taking India towards a fighting total. But the progress was once again hindered in the 17th over when Harmeet Singh dismissed Axar Patel. Eventually, the Indian skipper reached his half-century off 36 deliveries. He remained unbeaten on 84 and dragged India's total 161 at the end of 20 overs.
After the loss of the first four wickets, the onus was on Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav to bring India back into the game. But Rinku Singh failed to impress under pressure. He gifted away his wicket off Mohammed Mohsin's bowling putting India under deeper trouble at 72/5. This was soon followed by the departure of Hardik Pandya, leaving India struggling at 77/6.
India did not have a great start to their innings as Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for a golden duck of Ali Khan's bowling. After his departure Tilak Varma provided the counter-punch to India. Along with Ishan Kishan, Varma settled down the early nerves for the home team. But Kishan's knock did not last long as Schalkwyk picked up his wicket in the sixth over. Ishan Kishan walked back after scoring 20 runs off 16 balls. Tilak Varma also fell in the same over, followed by Shivam Dube the next delivery and India were struggling at 46/4.
India were asked to bat first in their opening game against the USA after Monank Patel won the toss. Jasprit Bumrah was rested for the match because of fever. On the other hand, India preferred to go in with the opening combination of Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma, dropping Sanju Samson, following his poor run of form at the top of the order.
India begin their T20 World Cup 2026 campaign at the Wankhede Stadium with fixture that looks simple on paper but is loaded with the pressure of an opening game: set the tempo, collect the points, and put early daylight between themselves and the rest of the group on net run rate. It is also a first proper World Cup audtion for a new-look India after the post-2024 reset - different bames in different jobs, but the same demand to be clinical. USA arrive with nothing to lose and plenty to gain, leaning on tight bowling spells, sharp catching, and scrap-fit mindset that can make the favourites uncomfortable.
Watch the first six over for the tine: India's powerplay intent versus USA's plans. If India start in their signature style, the night can become a statement: if they hesitate, USA will happily drag them into a grind. Selection chatter is part of the build-up too, with India tweaking their pace resources after an injury setback, and the captain looking to settle the best XI quickly. Under the lights, Wankhede rewards clean hitting, but early movement can punish loose shots badly.
