USA vs NED Match 21 Results

5:15 PM IST With that, Day 7 is a wrap in the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup. Friday began with Zimbabwe stunning Australia in Colombo, followed by a close contest between Canada and the United Arab Emirates, triumphed by the UAE before a USA special at Chepauk in the evening. Saturday, 14th February, 2026, brings us another triple header and possibly our first Super 8 contestant. Ireland and Oman kick things off in Colombo, at the SSC, from 5.30 am GMT, followed by the clash of the neighbours in England and Scotland at the Eden Gardens at 9.30 am GMT. But the final game of the day is a blockbuster - New Zealand taking on South Africa in Ahmedabad, from 1.30 pm GMT. The winner of that clash is sure to go through to the next round. The timings mentioned are the ones when the first ball is about to be bowled. But as always, our buildup will begin well in advance. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

5:11 PM IST And just like that, the USA jump to third spot in the table, above the Netherlands, owing to a superior net run rate. They play Namibia in their final league game, here only, in Chennai, on Sunday, 15th February, 2026, in an afternoon game (9.30 am GMT). The Dutch might have lost a golden opportunity to put pressure either on India or Pakistan had they won this match. They get a bit of a break and meet India next on Wednesday, 18th February, 2026, in an evening game (1.30 pm GMT) in Ahmedabad. Both, USA and Netherlands have to win their remaining games and hopes that the loser of the India-Pakistan clash on Sunday, loses their last game as well.

5:08 PM IST The victorious skipper of USA, MONANK PATEL, has a big smile on his face. Says that he is really happy with the way his side played in the match. Explains that losing the toss and batting first wasn't easy. Details that the ball was gripping but the top four batters played with intent and responsibility, showing their grittiness.

5:06 PM IST The captain of Netherlands, SCOTT EDWARDS, admits that USA got more than what his side was were hoping for. However, does not want to fault his bowling group as he believes that it was sensational in the first 2 games. Agrees that his bowlers missed their mark a few times in this match and the USA punished them. On the quality of the pitch, Edwards is humble enough to say that it was a quality pitch and it was his own batters who never really got going with the bat, losing wickets. Calls it pretty disappointing.

5:04 PM IST For his wonderful bowling spell of 4-0-21-4, USA's HARMEET SINGH has been adjudged the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. On being asked about his performance, Harmeet says that when he first saw the wicket in the first innings, the ball was holding quite a bit even when he went in to bat. So, he adds that the plan was to hold the ball and he did not change his plan much. On a chat with his spin partners, Singh agrees and says that they had a chat in the innings break, that there is spin available, so if they look to spin the ball, they can get wickets. On the cushion of a big score, HS gratefully says that it is the batters who deserve this award. Praises Saiteja Mukkamalla for the way he started the game and then, Shubham Ranjane, for the way he finished.
