25th Match, Group A, ICC Men’s T20 World Cup New York, June 12, 2024 – USA vs India, ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 2024, 25th Match, Group A Match Live Score , Summary
That’s from New York in this tournament. Although rushed and a bit messy, the low-scoring matches helped us reacquaint ourselves with a different type of thriller after the IPL. India is though. The United States can do that as well as Pakistan, but weather is also a concern for the country. There’s another match today – a big one from Group C – with the West Indies taking on New Zealand. Hope to see you for that. I’m Ekanth, on behalf of Andrew Miller (comms), Thilak Rama and Chandan Duorah (goals).
Rohit Sharma, India captain: We knew it would be a difficult task to score so many goals. Give us credit for pursuing it. SKY and Dube finally did well. A lot of Americans, we played together. Happy with their progress, saw them at MLC too. They are people who work hard and make their mark. We know our bowlers have to lead because scoring on this pitch is very difficult. Arshdeep started off brilliantly. We want options with us. When we feel we can use them, we should do so, and that’s what Dube allows. Being in the Super Eight was a huge relief. Playing here is not easy, it can be anyone’s game. Must persevere to the end and take the match as deep as possible. SKY showed he has a different style of play and that is what you would expect from experienced players. The partnership with Dube is very important.
Aaron Jones, US captain: 10-15 short runs. We knew if we got 125-130 it would be a tough result. The boys were disciplined today, satisfied that the game was over. Support is definitely good. We want to have fans, have been talking about that for several years. We will definitely have a tough competition against Ireland. (Not spin bowling) The wicket is difficult to face against the bowling seam. So think they are the best choice. Monank will most likely be fit for the next match, he just has a little difficulty.
Arshdeep Singh, POTM: Very satisfied with the performance. In the last two matches I gave away too much but the team continued to support me. Wickets are very useful for pacers, we are getting seam movement so we have to hit the right length and let the pitch support. Here, you can use the wicket more when dying. Bumrah also told me that you can support your execution with the batsmen to surprise the batsmen. You need to get into a routine before the game starts, try to maintain it and do it every day. All the bowlers did well, looking forward to the same in the next leg.
Sohum T: “So a dull escape for India. They will be happy to leave NY. If we have a full game on Saturday, could be a run.”
2:01 pm: India have now qualified for the Super Eight round. They will be happy to have the middle-order bats come through to win. They were pushed back by Netravalkar’s first strokes. SKY and Pant look to rebuild. The latter starts out looking good but falls into the hands of a gunman. Dube joined SKY and the two often struggled but still competed in singles when possible and weren’t afraid to connect with the big tournaments they occasionally pursued. The boundaries were not coming and the asking rate was close to 8 RPO with six odd numbers remaining in the last over. But a few boundaries brought it back. The US pacers kept them at bay but a penalty sent them four overs, and SKY got a couple of boundaries to effectively seal the match. Kudos to the US pacers, Ali Khan for using the field well, van Schalkwyk for his variations and Jasdeep for bowling heavy balls. Although Anderson lacks speed, he is still disciplined.
