India won the toss and asked the US to bat first. India went on Arshdeep Singh’s four-wicket haul to restrict the hosts to 110 for the loss of eight wickets, before chasing down the target. India were also bowled out by openers Saurabh Netravalkar with openers Virat Kohli (0) and Rohit Sharma (3) in the first over. I had a hard time sending it back. early.
but Suryakumar Yadav’s tough half-century Shivam Dube’s partnership gave India a hard-fought seven-wicket win over the United States, while stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma again failed to score 0 and 3 runs respectively. The United States were penalized five runs for their slow over rate, which made things a little easier for India, who advanced to the Super 8 with this win.
India have qualified for the next stage of the ICC squad with the Men in Blue set to face Canada in the final group match on June 15.
India skipper Rohit Sharma: I knew it was going to be tough. I am grateful for the courageous way we have partnered. Thank you to Surya and Dube for showing maturity and leading us. (On Indian-American cricketers) Many of these people have played cricket together and I have been very happy to see their progress. I saw them at MLC last year too, and they are all hard-working friends. (About the bowlers) We knew the bowlers had to take the lead and scoring runs would be difficult. All the bowlers did the job, especially Arshdeep. (About Dube Bowling) You want options and we need to have them available as much as possible. The pitch today favored a seamer, so we wanted to use him. (In the preliminaries) I’m glad. It was not easy to play cricket here. We had to hold on until the end in all three games. This win will give us a lot of confidence. (About Suryakumar) He showed that he has a different game. That’s to be expected from experienced players. I appreciate the depth he played today and the way he was able to get the win for us.
Aaron Jones US skipper: 10-15 points short. If we had gotten 130 the total would have been a tough one. Sometimes that happens. The boys were very disciplined and really proud of their bowling team. feels good. This is exactly what we wanted for cricket in America. We will reorganize now, have a few meetings, and come back strong. The wicket was a bit tricky and more suited to seam bowling. That’s why there is no spin. Mostly he (Monank Patel) should be fit for the final game but there has been a bit of a problem.
Arshdeep Singh Most Valuable Player
