Netravalkar to Suryakumar Yadav, out Varun Chakaravarthy Run Out!! 1 run completed. Flicks the straight ball towards deep mid-wicket and takes a single. Varun wanted the second run as well, but the throw came at the batter's end. The keeper has enough time to dislodge the bails as Varun is well outside his crease. India end on 161/9. Quite an impressive bowling effort by USA that. Varun Chakaravarthy run out (Mohsin/Gous) 0(0)

van Schalkwyk to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, superb shot! He has batted at this venue all his life. Knows each and every corner of the ground. Pitched up by van Schalkwyk outside off, Suryakumar Yadav goes down on his knee and swipes it over deep square leg for half-a-dozen. Not only the crowd, but even the USA players appreciate that strike by SKY

Harmeet Singh to Arshdeep Singh, FOUR, Arshdeep Singh opens his account with a boundary! Flatter through the air and Arshdeep Singh has smashed it over the bowler's head. The fielder in the deep charges towards his right, but this was placed very straight and enough to beat the man neat the boundary

Harmeet Singh to Axar, out Caught by Mohsin!! Harmeet Singh with his second wicket! Flatter through the air and Axar slogs this towards deep mid-wicket. Off the bottom of his bat as Mohsin reverse cups in well inside the boundary. A handy contribution, but India would have wanted him to bat till the end. Proving to be a truly inspirational performance by USA against the defending champions. Axar c Mohsin b Harmeet Singh 14(11) [4s-2]

Netravalkar to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX, 21 runs from that over! This was pitched up by the bowler, right into the slot and the Indian captain flicks it stylishly over deep mid-wicket for a flat six. Just a boundary away from notching up a fifty under pressure

Netravalkar to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, third boundary of the over! Short of a length outside off, another slower one, Suryakumar Yadav moves across slightly and swipes it uppishly over the infield at square leg. No fielder in the deep and that shall be four more
15.2

Netravalkar to Axar, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Axar! Short of a length outside off, Axar plays this smartly, steering it away to the third man fence. Was a slightly slower one as the southpaw managed to find the fence once again
15.1

Netravalkar to Axar, FOUR, width on offer and punished! Short and wide outside off, Axar throws his hands at it and slashes it through backward point for a rollicking boundary. Was in the air for a bit, but he found the gap through the off-side

Harmeet Singh to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, tad short outside off, Suryakumar Yadav rocks back and carves it through backward point. The fielder in the deep tries to flick the ball away, but his foot was in contact with the cushions at the same time. Good effort, but in vain

Mohsin to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, finally gets the placement right with the sweep shot. He's good with this shot. USA have a deep backward square leg so SKY sweeps squarer over square leg and times it sweetly too. Much needed boundary

Harmeet Singh to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Saiteja Mukkamalla!! In the airrr, taken. The sweeper comes in play. Short delivery turning away outside off stump, Hardik rocks back and goes for a lofted drive over cover. Initially looked like he timed it decently well but the sweeper moved under it to pouch it safely. Harmeet Singh roars and pumps his fists. 77/6 and India in serious trouble.

Mohsin to Rinku Singh, out Caught by Milind Kumar!! Rinku Singh never timed the ball. The bat turned his hands every time he made impact and that's exactly what's led to his downfall now. Full delivery on the stumps, Rinku tried to slog hard, hit it flat and holed out to long-on. Rinku Singh c Milind Kumar b Mohsin 6(14)

Harmeet Singh to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, oh van Schalkwyk fumbles and lets the ball go through him to the fence. Flatter delivery on the leg stump, SKY flicks off the back foot. Looked like one or maximum two runs but the misfield gave India extra runs
10
Shubham Ranjane to Suryakumar Yadav, no run, dropped Shubham Ranjane almost took this return catch and couldn't close his hands it time as he was in the followthrough. SKY looked to flick this slower delivery to mid-on but got a leading edge that went to the bowler instead. The bowler initially caught it but his hands were going down. So in the act of trying to get his hands up he lost control. Has a few words with SKY. Both know each other pretty well

Shubham Ranjane to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, smart batting! Third man up, so he made up his mind to open the bat face early to guide it in the gap for four. Used the pace on this length delivery nicely

Shubham Ranjane to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR, uppish but safe! Full and in the slot, SKY goes straight with the lofted drive. Mid-off was wide this time and India get a boundary in 27 balls

van Schalkwyk to Shivam Dube, out Caught by Netravalkar!! It's four down now and van Schalkwyk makes it a trip-strike in one over. The USA dugout is absolutely delighted, while we see glum faces in the Indian contingent. Short of a length slower delivery. Shivam was way early into the pull shot. Then realized he had to change his shot and ended up hanging his bat out. Top edge resulted and short fine leg moved back to take a good catch overhead. Van Schalkwyk can't believe what he's done and his teammates surround him in celebration. Shivam Dube c Netravalkar b van Schalkwyk 0(1)

van Schalkwyk to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Monank Patel!! It's three down inside the powerplay. The USA are rocking India early here. Tilak was never middling the ball and he mistimes a pull shot. Smart short ball from van Schalkwyk, Tilak looks to clear the infield and take advantage of the remaining powerplay balls. But the ball jumps on him to hit the splice of the bat, simple chance at mid-wicket and Monank is pumped. Tilak Varma c Monank Patel b van Schalkwyk 25(16) [4s-3 6s-1]

W
van Schalkwyk to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Milind Kumar!! Smashed flat and straight to mid-off. USA hold onto a catch this time. Van Schalkwyk is absolutely delighted as the plan to bowl wide of off to Ishan has worked. It was a ball that could have been hit. He opted for power than placement so he hit it too well and too flat to pick out mid-off, instead of going squarer through cover or point. To only concede 45 runs in 5.2 in 5.2 overs is an incredible effort from the USA. Ishan Kishan c Milind Kumar b van Schalkwyk 20(16) [4s-1 6s-2]

Ali Khan to Ishan Kishan, SIX, flicked away! Bowling over the wicket was working so well - conceded just 7 runs in 11 balls. That's a great achievement at the Wankhede. And for some reason Ali Khan goes round the wicket for this ball and cuts the angle to the LHB. Delivers a slot ball, Ishan says thank you very much and flicks it over mid-wicket, clears the deep fielder

Ali Khan to Ishan Kishan, FOUR, drills it hard through cover! Ali Khan looks for the yorker and just misses the mark, Ishan waits and drives it hard in the gap on the off-side. Spoils Ali Khan's figures a bit

Ali Khan to Ishan Kishan, no run, dropped! That should have been taken? Ali Khan hides his face with his hand as he couldn't believe that the fielder at backward point didn't pouch this. He's so disappointed. Full and wide of off stump, Ishan sliced this so hard. Flew flat to backward point, who didn't judge it quickly
4
van Schalkwyk to Tilak Varma, 1 run, oh put down but the good thing was it wasn't smashed at van Schalkwyk's head. The bowler hardly had any time to react. Length delivery, Tilak hit is back at rocket speed. Van Schalkwyk managed to get his hands to the left. Was in no position to catch it. Thankfully no injury to the bowler. In fact he managed to keep his eyes on the ball, which made sure he took his head out of the line

van Schalkwyk to Tilak Varma, FOUR, a slog from Tilak, deliberate attempt to drag it wide of deep square leg. Length delivery on the stumps, Tilak opens the front leg and goes for a smack, bat turns in his hands so the timing it not there. Ball slows down but the fielder was too wide

Netravalkar to Tilak Varma, FOUR, in the airrrr and just over the bar! Full delivery on the leg stump, Tilak looks to loft straight, mistimes. Mid-on though he was in play for a moment. Harmeet tried to jump and get his left hand to it but it cleared him. 16 off that over
2.2

Netravalkar to Tilak Varma, FOUR, smart! This is very smart. They don't have a fine leg so the moment he saw a length ball being dished out around middle and leg, just used the pace on the ball to tickle it fine to the fine leg fence
2.1

Netravalkar to Tilak Varma, SIX, that is high, so high and lands just in front of the sight screen. Tilak is not one to hold back when the opposition is trying to build pressure. Full outswinger, Tilak steps out, hits throught he line. Didn't time it that well but good enough to clear the straight boundary

Ali Khan to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Sanjay Krishnamurthi!! In the airrrr, taken at deep cover. This is outstanding field placing from USA. You normally don't see deep cover this early. Wonder if Abhishek spotted that. He smashed this ball really well but picked out the man to perfection. Sanjay had to move a few paces to the left and he judged it so well. Stunned faces in the stands. Length delivery just outside off stump, Abhishek lofts on the rise, hit it flat and holed out. Starts the World Cup with a golden duck and walks back shaking his head. Teammates mob Ali Khan as they know this is a massive moment in the game. Abhishek Sharma c Sanjay Krishnamurthi b Ali Khan 0(1)

Netravalkar to Ishan Kishan, SIX, that's and audacious whippy pull shot by bending one knee to ground. He did so to get under the ball. They had a man back at deep backward square leg but Ishan Kishan didn't care one bit. Backed himself to get enough power behind it and sent this short of length delivery over the ropes
