IND vs USA Live Score, T20 World Cup 2026: Siraj and Arshdeep Tear Through USA as India Tighten Grip

 

“Mohammed Siraj celebrates a wicket during IND vs USA T20 World Cup 2026 match”

India vs USA, T20 World Cup 2026 LIVE: India’s fast bowlers delivered a brutal early statement as Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh dismantled the United States’ top order, leaving the hosts reeling at 14/3 during their chase of 162 in a Group A clash.

Earlier, captain Suryakumar Yadav produced a captain’s knock under pressure, rescuing India from a collapse and guiding them to 161/9 in 20 overs.

Suryakumar Yadav Leads from the Front

After being asked to bat first, India found themselves in serious trouble early on. The famed batting lineup struggled against disciplined USA bowling, losing four wickets inside the powerplay.

Things went from bad to worse as India slipped to 77/6 in the 13th over, staring at the possibility of a sub-par total. That’s when Suryakumar Yadav took control.

The Indian skipper played a fearless yet calculated innings, scoring 84 not out off 49 balls, peppering the boundary with innovative strokes and smart placement. His calm presence ensured India crossed the 160-run mark — a total that looked unlikely at one stage.

USA Bowlers Shine Despite Late Surge

USA’s bowlers were impressive for most of the innings:

  • Shadley van Schalkwyk was outstanding, finishing with 4/25

  • Harmeet Singh chipped in with two crucial wickets

  • Saurabh Netravalkar, bowling at his home ground, had a rare off day, conceding 65 runs without a wicket

Despite Surya’s brilliance, USA will feel they did well to restrict India to a chaseable total.

Siraj and Arshdeep Set the Tone Early

Defending 161, India came out breathing fire.

  • Mohammed Siraj struck twice inside the powerplay

  • Arshdeep Singh maintained relentless pressure from the other end

USA’s chase fell apart almost immediately. At 14/3, the required run rate began to spiral, with Indian bowlers exploiting bounce and movement perfectly.

One of the key moments came when Saiteja Mukkamalla attempted an aggressive shot over mid-wicket, only to find Varun Chakaravarthy perfectly placed. Siraj celebrated yet another breakthrough as India tightened their grip on the match.
