India vs United States Highlights T20WC2026 | SKY Stands Tall After Top-Order Collapse

• Player of the Match: Suryakumar Yadav 84 (49)*

India vs USA Highlights T20WC2026 Review

dia’s innings began in chaos. Abhishek Sharma and Shivam Dube were dismissed first ball, while Ishan Kishan (20) and Tilak Varma (25) failed to build on promising starts. At 46 for 4 inside six overs, India were exposed by disciplined USA bowling and sharp movement off the surface.

Amid the collapse, Suryakumar Yadav (84 off 49)* delivered a captain’s knock. He absorbed pressure early, then shifted gears seamlessly, finding boundaries without recklessness. With limited support from the lower order, SKY guided India to 161 for 9, a total that felt below par but competitive given the conditions.

USA’s bowlers were relentless. Shadley van Schalkwyk (4 for 25) repeatedly broke partnerships, while Mohammad Mohsin (1 for 16) and Harmeet Singh (2 for 26) squeezed the middle overs. Injuries to Ali Khan and Shubham Ranjane forced extended spells from Saurabh Netravalkar, whose expensive final figures tilted the balance late.

Chasing 162, the United States never recovered from early setbacks. Three wickets fell within the first 3.2 overs, reducing them to 13 for 3. Mohammed Siraj (3 for 29) struck with pace and bounce, while Arshdeep Singh (2 for 18) and Axar Patel (2 for 24) controlled the tempo through the middle.

There was resistance from Milind Kumar (34), Sanjay Krishnamurthi (37), and a late surge by Shubham Ranjane (37 off 22), but the required rate kept climbing. USA closed on 132 for 8, competitive but never fully in control.
