Ind vs USA Highlights, T20 World Cup 2026: Suryakumar Yadav stands tall as India wobble but start with a win vs USA

Milind Kumar missed the ball and kept going there. That have the chance for Ishan Kishan to dislodge the bails with the batter out of the crease. The partnership was looking threatening and Varun Chakaravarthy has broken it.

14 runs off the Hardik Pandya over. The pressure is released a bit, especially with the six off the last ball. USA will be looking to build on this momentum.

Hardik into the attack. But the first ball flies away to the fence. It was a good delivery. He managed to get a thick outside edge, but there was no slip in place. The ball runs away to the third man fence for a boundary.

Despite a six in that over, only eight runs came off it. 18 runs in the last over. This is not what the USA would have wanted in the middle overs. 10 overs are left in this chase now and the USA need 113 runs to win the game.

Milind Kumar takes the risk and gets the maximum. The pressure was mounting on them and this will give them a bit of relief.

So just 10 runs in the last three overs. Varun Chakaravarthy and Axar Patel are strangling the USA batters here. The pressure is mounting on the chasing team here.

Axar Patel comes from the other end. India look to spin a web here for the USA batters. This would be the most important stage of the game.

India introduce spin. Varun Chakarvarthy into the attack. He has troubled the best of batters in the world. It will be interesting to see how the USA batters handle him.

The end of the powerplay and Suryakumar Yadav will be more than just happy with how his bowlers have delivered. India have picked up three wickets and have conceded just 31 runs. The pressure is back on the USA.

IN THE AIR AND DROPPED!!!! A catch goes down!!! It was a very difficult chance. It would have been a screamer if Siraj had taken that. But this is good bowling from India. They need to keep this going.

Another wicket!!!!! Wankhede is roaring here!!!!! India have three wickets. Mohammed Siraj strikes again. Very quickly USA have lost three wickets here.

In the air and taken!!! Arshdeep Singh joins the party. India needed early wickets and their pacers have provided exactly that. WHAT A START FOR THE DEFENDING CHAMPIONS!!!!!

WICKET!!!! India draw first blood. It is the wicket of Andries Gous, who can be dangerous. Siraj was not in the squad a week ago, now he is picking up wickets for India in a World Cup match.

Gous gets going!!! A six!!! This is where the importance of wickets lie. India cannot allow USA settle into this chase.

Good over from Arshdeep Singh. Just two runs off it. But India need wickets. USA have some aggressive batters who can very quickly make this 162 target look like a small one. So, India need to strike early and put the pressure on the opposition.

Ind vs USA LIVE Score: Action resumes! Gous and Mukkamalla to open for USA in this run chase. Arshdeep to bowl the first over.

Ind vs USA LIVE Score: Netravalkar's 0/65 is the most expensive figures in T20 World Cup history, overtaking Sanath Jayasuriya's 0/64 vs Pakistan in Joburg in 2007.

This is how India's innings progressed against USA.

A wicket off the last ball but what a knock from Suryakumar Yadav. He has scored 84 runs off 49 deliveries and have rescued India from a precarious position. India will be happy with 161 runs that they have posted on the board from where they were at one stage.

WHAT A KNOCK!!! WHAT A KNOCK!!!! A maximum and India reach 150. A lone man, a lone warrior fighting the battle for the Men in Blue.

A boundary to start the over!!!! India marching towards that 150 mark. He his bringing out every shot in his book.

Arshdeep Singh falls trying to hit that. But that does not matter here. India wanted Surya on strike at the beginning of the next over and they get that.

SIX!!!!!! WHAT A SHOT!!!!! Swept away by Suryakumar Yadav. That is tooooo good!!!!! Some more please captain!!!!

A boundary of the second ball in the 19th over. But India need many more of those. Next 10 deliveries, India will be hoping at least half of those go beyond the ropes.

Ali Khan has just walked out and now Shubam Ranjane is struggling with fitness. Okay, so he has shortened his run-up to complete the over.

The biggest positive for India in this innings has been their captain. He reaches his half-century off 36 deliveries. WHAT A KNOCK UNDER PRESSURE!!!!!

IN THE AIR AND TAKEN!!!! Axar Patel departs now. That is the seventh wicket. Just when things were looking positive for India, they lose one more.

Four more overs left to go in this Indian innings. India will be looking for 35 more runs in these overs at the least. USA on the other hand will be looking for wickets, at least that is the best way to go here. Get India bowled out before 130 and keep the match under your control.

Axar Patel hits two boundaries of two consecutive deliveries. Exactly what India needed. The whole of India will hope that these two guide India to a respectable total.

Suryakumar Yadav along with Axar Patel will look to take the score to 150. A total beyond 150 might be a winning score on this wicket as there has been a bit of help here for the bowlers.

Suryakumar Yadav is fighting a lone battle at one end here. He is looking to take the team to a score where they can put up a good fight. He has to bat till the end here.

Harmeet Singh gets rid of Hardik Pandya here!!!! Sixth wicket falls. India paying a heavy price for their go for all approach. It looks like USA have done their homework and India have arrived underprepared.

USA is not surely backing down!!!! India are now half the side down. Rinku Singh departs and it is 72/5. This was surely not the script here.

The USA team was brilliant for the first 9 and a half overs. However, now there is a misfield here and there. As India makes the comeback, are USA starting to feel the heat?

So, 10 overs done. India have 63/4 on the board. Nowhere close to what we are used seeing from this team. But, after that early setback, Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav are looking to drag the team back into this match.

Now that he is set, Suryakumar Yadav is looking to increase the scoring rate. He hits a boundary against Ranjane. The first in 27 deliveries for the team.

The first match of the title defence and the onus is on the Indian captain, Suryakumar Yadav to dig his team out of the hole. Rinku Singh needs to play against his nature here and help his skipper rebuild this innings.

Shivam Dube now!!! India have now lost four wickets. The defending champions are now four down for just 46 runs in six overs. This is not how India would have wanted their campaign to start.

TAKEN!!!!! USA are not backing down. They have the second wicket in the form of Ishan Kishan. That dropped chance in the last over did not cost them much. Kishan plays that straight into the hands of the mid-off fielder.

A catch dropped and what happens after that??!! Ishan Kishan slams a gorgeous boundary and then follows it up with a six. Ranjane's mistake already stinging his team.
