Mohammad Siraj made sure he got into the highlight reel for the game with a fine effort at deep midwicket to dismiss Nitish off Arshdeep’s bowling

Saurabh Netravalkar gave USA the perfect start, dismissing Virat Kohli for a golden duck
Kohli recorded his second golden duck in T20Is, first in a T20 World Cup
Netravalkar also dismissed Rohit Sharma cheaply, giving USA a massive advantage up front and putting pressure on Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant
Netravalkar almost sent Suryakumar Yadav back but he made a mess of a straightforward catch in the deep to hand SKY a lifeline
When Rishabh Pant was dismissed for 18 by a ball which scooted along the surface, there were a few nervous faces in the India camp.
USA suffered greatly when it was penalised five runs at the end of the 15th over as it took more than the allowed time between overs three times. This freebie eased the load off India considerably
Suryakumar Yadav (50 n.o., 49b, 2x4, 2x6) and Shivam Dube (31 n.o., 35b, 1x4, 1x6) bailed India out
