Yadvav’s 50 runs came off 49 balls included two fours and two sixes. He put on 72 runs off 65 balls for the unbeaten fourth wicket with Shivam Dube, who scored 31 not out as India finished with 111-3 in 18.2 overs in reply to 110-8 by the United States. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh took 4-9 in four overs to restrict the co-hosts after India had won the toss and opted to field at the Nassau County International Stadium. After the U.S. scored 110 runs — well short of an average T20 tally — it was India’s turn to bat. India was in early trouble in its chase as Indian-born medium pacer Saurabh Netravalkar continued his golden run for the Americans. After bowling the co-hosts to the upset over Pakistan, he celebrated the wickets of Indian superstars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Kohli was caught behind for a golden duck — dismissed off the first delivery he faced — in what surely will become a career highlight for Netravalkar. Sharma fell to a slower delivery after just 3 runs, as Netravalkar finished with 2-18 in four overs. Rishabh Pant scored 18 off 20 balls batting at number three, but was bowled off an Ali Khan delivery that slowed low. India was down to 39-3 in 7.3 overs with the U.S. raising visions of an even bigger shock. Yadav and Dube absorbed the pressure, however, and battled hard to dig India out of its hole. They didn’t look to score quickly against the duo’s celebrated natural style of play, instead spending time at the difficult wicket. India crossed 50 only after 11 overs. But the chase was given a boost when five penalty runs were awarded after the 15th over, with the U.S. guilty of running the clock past 60 seconds between overs on three separate occasions. Yadav then took 15 runs off Shadley van Schalkwyk’s 17th over, as India crossed the finish line with relative ease. Earlier, Singh picked two wickets in the very first over as the Americans went down to 3-2. He trapped opener Shayan Jahangir lbw for a golden duck, while Andries Gous was out caught for two. Steven Taylor scored 24 off 30 balls to help recover the innings. Singh returned later on to dismiss top-scorer Nitish Kumar for 27. His knock anchored the innings after the U.S. was down to 56-4 in 11.4 overs. Hardik Pandya also picked 2-14 in his four-over spell, accounting for stand-in skipper Aaron Jones and hard-hitting Corey Anderson . cricket: /hub/cricket This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

‘Could’ve been anyone’s game’, admits India skipper Rohit Sharma after defeating USA by 7 wickets | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday acknowledged the fact that Team India struggled in a below-par chase of 111 despite defeating United States by seven wickets in a T20 World Cup Group A game in New York.With their third win in a row, India qualified for the Super Eight stage riding on a fighting fifty by Suryakumar Yadav and Arshdeep Singh‘s four-wicket haul. The United States faced a challenging start to their innings after being put into bat, with Arshdeep Singh’s devastating spell in the first over. The left-arm pacer claimed the wickets of Shayan Jahangir and Andries Gous, leaving the Americans reeling at 2-2. However, a partnership between Steven Taylor and Nitish Kumar helped stabilize the innings, enabling the United States to post a respectable total of 110-8 in their allotted overs. India’s chase began on a shaky note, as Saurabh Netravalkar struck early, dismissing the experienced duo of Virat Kohli (o) and Rohit Sharma (3) cheaply. With the team in trouble, Suryakumar (50*) and Shivam Dube (31*) took on the responsibility of rebuilding the innings. Yadav’s unbeaten half-century, combined with Dube’s valuable contribution, ensured that India reached the target comfortably, sealing the victory with 10 balls to spare.Rohit gave full credit to the team for chasing down the target as it was going to be a tough task.“We knew it was going to be a tough task, scoring that many. Credit to us for chasing it down. SKY and Dube did well in the end. Lot of the US guys, we’ve played together. Happy with their progress, saw them in MLC too. They’re hard-working guys making a mark. We knew our bowlers had to take the lead as scoring is tough on this pitch,” Rohit said after the match.Rohit, who heaved a big sigh of relief after qualifying for the Super Eight stage, stated that playing in New York pitches wasn’t easy at all.“Arshdeep started off magnificently. We want options with us. As and when we feel like we could use them, we should be and that’s what Dube allowed. Being in the Super Eight is a big relief. Playing here wasn’t easy, could’ve been anyone’s game. Had to stick till the end and take the game as deep as possible. SKY showed he’s got a different game and that’s what you expect from experienced players. Partnership with Dube was crucial,” Rohit added.

Surya and Dube, who were at the crease, found it hard to connect with the ball due to the unpredictable nature of the surface.The match took an unexpected turn when the USA team committed a costly error, awarding India five penalty runs and reducing the equation from 35 off 30 to 30 off 30. This sudden shift in momentum proved to be a turning point of the game.The reason for the co-hosts to have been docked five penalty runs was because USA took more than a minute between overs three times. And per the new rules, that’s a penalty.According to the updated regulations, if a team exceeds the allotted 60 seconds to commence a new over on three occasions within an innings, they will face a penalty of five runs being deducted from their total score.The umpires have enforced this rule, and as a result, USA have been docked 5 penalty runs. This decision was made due to the team’s repeated failure to start their overs within the stipulated time frame. The penalty runs will be added to the opposition’s total, putting the USA team at a disadvantage.

T20 World Cup: Suryakumar Yadav, Arshdeep Singh shine as India beat USA to reach Super 8s | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Suryakumar Yadav‘s unbeaten half-century and Arshdeep Singh‘s career-best bowling figures of 4-9 propelled India to a seven-wicket victory over the United States in their Group A encounter at the T20 World Cup on Wednesday. The win secured India’s spot in the Super Eights round.India’s chase of the modest 111-run target was not without hiccups, as they found themselves in trouble at 15-2 and then 44-3. However, Yadav (50) and Shivam Dube (31) steadied the ship with an unbroken 67-run partnership for the fourth wicket, guiding their team to victory with 10 balls to spare. The United States, despite the loss, remain in a strong position to advance to the Super Eights alongside India, as they have four points, while Pakistan and Canada have two each.India’s top order struggled against Mumbai-born fast bowler Saurabh Netravalkar, who dismissed Virat Kohli for a golden duck and also accounted for Rohit Sharma‘s wicket. Rishabh Pant’s brief 18-run innings ended when Ali Khan rattled his stumps. Earlier, the United States got off to a disastrous start, losing two wickets to Arshdeep Singh in the first over, with the score reading 3-2. Captain Aaron Jones, who had scored an unbeaten 94 against Canada, managed only 11 runs before falling to Hardik Pandya. Steven Taylor (24) and Nitish Kumar (27) added 31 runs for the fourth wicket, but the latter was brilliantly caught by Mohammed Siraj off Arshdeep’s bowling. Corey Anderson, the former New Zealand all-rounder, scored 15 before being caught by Pant off Pandya, who completed a wicket-maiden. The United States managed to cross the 100-run mark thanks to contributions from Shadley van Schalkwyk (11) and Jasdeep Singh (2).India now join Australia and South Africa as the three teams to have secured their places in the next stage of the tournament.

U.S. scare for jittery India as Surya, Arshdeep clinch Super 8 berth for Rohit's men

U.S. scare for jittery India as Surya, Arshdeep clinch Super 8 berth for Rohit’s men

Suryakumar Yadav plays a shot during the Group A match against the USA in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on June 12. | Photo Credit: ANI Arshdeep Singh’s artistry and Suryakumar Yadav’s coolness combined well for India as they staved off USA’s challenge, etching a seven-wicket win to clinch a Super Eight berth in the T20 World Cup here on June 12. After Arshdeep’s career-best 4 for 9 restricted the USA to what looked like a manageable 110 for 8, India made heavy weather of an easy chase on a slightly challenging track before Suryakumar (50 not out off 49 balls) reasserted his status as world’s No. 1 ranked T20 batter. He traded his flamboyance, waiting like a tiger on the prowl for his prey, in the company of Shivam Dube (31 not out off 35 balls), who didn’t inspire much confidence despite the chase being completed in 18.2 overs. The Surya-Dube pair added 67 runs for the unbroken fourth wicket stand. The turning point seemed to be a bit of ignorance about the rules from the U.S. bowlers, who flouted the rule of taking only 60 seconds between the overs on three occasions and conceded five penalty runs at an inopportune time. India needed 35 off 30 balls at that stage when umpire Paul Reiffel informed skipper Aaron Jones about the decision and that effectively ended the U.S. resistance. That was the opportunity Surya waited for as he then finished the match in a jiffy with a flurry of shots. But not before Saurabh Netravalkar (2/18 in 4 overs), the Oracle programmer from Silicon Valley, wrote a couple of perfect codes to remove an out-of-form Virat Kohli (0) with a delivery that shaped away and then bowled a slower one to find the leading edge of former Mumbai senior teammate Rohit Sharma’s willow. Dube once again struggled on a slow track as India were 53 for 3 after 11 overs with 58 more to get in the last 9 overs. The shackles were finally broken when Surya uppishly flicked Ali for a boundary towards mid-wicket and Dube, after an arduous struggle of 25 deliveries, picked Corey Anderson’s slower ball to dispatch him for a six over deep mid-wicket. India will head to Florida for the final group league game against Canada but the weather forecast in Miami is gloomy and that would certainly raise the U.S. team’s spirits as a draw against Ireland would help them knock Pakistan out of the tournament. Having opted to bowl, Arshdeep hardly took his foot off the pedal enjoying career-best figures of 4/9 as USA managed 110 for 8, which was decent if not great if one factored in the track at the Nassau County Cricket ground. After a couple of gallant batting performances in their back-to-back victories, the USA batters found Indian pace attack a few notches above in terms of class and quality. There was hardly a phase of play when the hosts would have felt the noose being loosened around their necks. However, after scoring 42 in the first 10, USA with useful contributions from Nitish Kumar (27), Steven Taylor (24) and former New Zealand international Anderson (15) added another 68 in the back-10. Once Arshdeep got a couple of breakthroughs in the opening over including a first-ball wicket of Shayan Jahangir, there was no looking back for the Indians. They never had a slip up in terms of intensity, mixing up fuller deliveries with ones that were pitched on back of length. The left-arm pacer was fantastic both at the start and at the death bowling an incredible 17 dot balls. Hardik Pandya (2/14) was once again very effective with the ball while Dube’s (0/11) performance wouldn’t raise much hopes for skipper Rohit in terms of a potent bowling option.

Why USA were handed five-run penalty during crucial T20 World Cup 2024 game against India? – India TV

Image Source : AP Corey Anderson and Shivam Dube during the IND vs USA T20 World Cup 2024 game in New York The United States suffered a morale blow in the crucial stage of the T20 World Cup 2024 game against India in New York on Wednesday, June 12. The officials handed the USA a five-run penalty when they were defending 35 runs in 30 balls at Nassau County International Stadium. On-field umpire Paul Reiffel signalled for the five-run penalty after a talk with the USA’s stand-in skipper Aaron Jones. Umpires pointed out that the USA took more than a minute between overs on three different occasions which caused them to bring a stop clock rule. According to the rule, the team gets five runs deducted from their total after taking a more than minute between overs for three times in an innings. “As per stop clock rule, the fielding side is expected to start a new over within 60 seconds of the completion of the previous over,” the ICC rulebook states. “An electronic clock, counting down from 60 to zero, will be displayed on the ground, with the onus on the third umpire to determine the start of the clock. “The failure of the fielding side to be ready to bowl the first ball of their next over within the stipulated 60 seconds of the previous over being completed attracts two warnings. Subsequent breaches would lead to a five-run penalty per incident.”  Meanwhile, a five-run penalty totally ruined the USA’s chances to take the game to the wire. Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube finished the tough chase with seven wickets and ten balls remaining as India stormed into the Super 8 round with three successive wins. India playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj.

His last T20I game was the third match of the series which India won by a whopping 106 runs. Suryakumar scored 100 off 56 balls in that match but later hobbled off the field after injuring his ankle during the South African innings. He had to undergo a surgery for the injury and was later ruled out of India’s series at home against Afghanistan as he had to go under the knife for a sports hernia that had worsened over time and needed medical intervention. Suryakumar underwent a lengthy period of recovery which also forced him to miss Mumbai Indians’ first three matches of the 2024 season. He finally played his first game since December in MI’s home match against Delhi Capitals. While MI won that match by 29 runs, Suryakumar fell for a two-ball duck. He then came back to form in scintillating fashion in the next match, smashing 52 in 19 balls and helping MI to a seven-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
