Arshdeep Singh was on fire in the T20 World Cup match between India and the United States. With a career-best performance of 4/9, he led the Indian team to restrict the hosts to a manageable 110 for 8. Despite the USA's recent strong batting performances, they found themselves struggling against the skill and talent of the Indian pace attack.
From the very beginning, the Indian team had the USA batters on their toes. Arshdeep's first over itself was a game-changer, with two breakthroughs including a first-ball wicket of Shayan Jahangir. The pressure never let up for the USA as the Indian team maintained their intensity throughout the match. Mixing up their deliveries smartly, the Indian bowlers kept the USA batsmen in check.
The Powerplay was particularly tough for the hosts, with only 18 runs scored and a struggling Aaron Jones as the stand-in captain. He could only manage one six off Mohammed Siraj before being dismissed by a short delivery from Hardik Pandya. This match also gave Indian skipper Rohit Sharma the opportunity to test out Shivam Dube, who has been the weakest link in both batting and bowling for the Indian team.
Despite losing opener Steven Taylor early on, the USA managed to put up a fight with useful contributions from Nitish Kumar and former New Zealand international Corey Anderson. Nitish, in particular, proved to be a thorn in India's side with some powerful hits. However, his dismissal at the hands of a superb catch by Siraj marked the beginning of the end for the USA. With half of their team back in the pavilion at 81 runs, their hopes of reaching a score of 120 were dashed.
In the end, it was a dominant performance by the Indian team, led by Arshdeep's impressive figures. With the USA unable to break free from the noose around their necks, India emerged victorious in the Group 'A' encounter of the T20 World Cup.
