03:12Philip Warma has come out to the middle with India losing their first wicket
03:18that's hit high in the air should clear a bit off and should clear the boundary as well

08:04another one goes
08:05Akshar this time

08:08another
08:09almost every time they've gone out
08:14again
08:16not in the middle of the bat
08:17at all
08:18caught well inside the boundary line
08:20at the Vankhede
08:22that tells you a story
08:23Akshar Patil
08:24has to go back
08:2514 of 11
08:27India are
08:28118 for 7
08:30oh
08:38hammered
08:39don't worry about the one
08:40let's just take the four instead
08:44that'll do nicely for Ashti
08:45but that'll do nicely
08:49that's the gap he looks for
08:50it is very dangerous to bowl
08:52to Surya
08:53Kumar Yadav without that man behind
08:55square 51
08:5651 from 36
08:57take a bow
08:58skip a team under pressure
08:59an absolute captain's knock here
09:02from Surya Kumar Yadav
09:04and much needed for India
09:06not done yet
09:08acknowledging the crowd
09:10but
09:12there's a lot of work left to do
09:14for Surya
09:18that's where he's going to go
09:20that's why he's such a good player
09:21he knows where the gaps are
09:23and that is not an easy shot to play
09:25high class
09:26as a go
09:28as a go
09:29and that's exactly where it goes
09:30however much you try
09:32however much you plan
09:33this guy's just too good
09:35you saw it coming from a mile away
09:38from around the wicket
09:40that's a full swing
09:44gonna be taken surely
09:46yes
09:47pretty irrelevant in terms of the match situation
09:50and Shalvet will pick up another
09:53and he fully deserves that
09:54he's bowled brilliantly tonight
09:56he picks up 4 for 25
09:58140 for 8
09:59140 for 8
10:01140 for 8 India now
10:03he's not making it forwards
10:05Varun Chakravati
10:06Varun Chakravati
10:07I'm sure will not move
10:08from his position
10:09at the non-striker's end
10:10he's
10:12brilliant
10:13absolutely brilliant
10:14they need another 4 fielders here
10:16goes again
10:20and 6 more
10:22they just cannot bowl to him
10:24mind you not many can
10:26Surika Mariana
10:28you
10:29beauty
10:33oh
10:346 more
10:356 more
10:36down the ground
10:37almost irrelevant
10:38where the fielders are
10:39he is Mr. 360
10:40and he's showing exactly why
10:45goes again
10:46it's almost inevitable
10:47this time though
10:48it's only 4
10:49won't finish with a boundary
10:55they'll continue to run
10:56surely
10:57nah
10:58they're just going to take the 1
10:59either way
11:01Surya Kumar Yadav
11:02has given India
11:03a chance
11:04in fact more than a chance
11:05they'll be energised massively
11:07you have to feel for
11:08Ned Travalka
11:09but that man on screen
11:10take a bow
11:11absolutely extraordinary
11:13your team have a chance now
11:15at 161 for 9
11:17extraordinary
11:2084 from 49
11:21that of course
11:22the headline act
11:2320 0 and 25
11:24didn't look too bad
11:25in the power play
11:26and then it fell away
11:27massively
11:280 6 5
11:2914 4
11:33they ended up with
11:34and they only got there
11:35because of a fabulous late blitz
11:37from Surya Kumar Yadav
11:40that man on screen
11:41was given India
11:43a chance
11:44really good chance
11:45with their bowling attack
11:46outcome
11:49a pair
11:50of attacking
11:51USA batter
11:52house
11:53and
11:54Mookamala
11:55strikes at
11:56169
11:57in his little career
11:58the site age
11:59of Mookamala
12:00right
12:01Arsdeep Singh
12:02very good at the top
12:03very good at the tail
12:04very good numbers
12:06on a skill scale
12:07here's the first ball
12:09just 161 to defend
12:10yeah
12:11hint of shape there
12:12in that first delivery
12:13yeah that's what he's saying
12:14right
12:15Muhammad Siraj
12:16we want to look at that threat percentage and say it might be better than that let's see what he has to offer
12:31he has to offer
12:34the out swingers work
12:35the out swingers work
12:37the Mushtaq Ali
12:38he's connected that
12:39and sent it soaring down right here in front of us
12:42in fact just about a yard or so in front of us
12:44this just swung off the middle of the bat
12:47clean strike
12:49and I'll tell you what he's actually hit that ball very very well
12:58except that he's headed straight to a field I was taking a good look at
13:02well you're asking the question what is the length that is the length on this pitch
13:07the full delivery got smashed for six so he just dragged it back a couple of feet
13:13a couple of feet getting the batter to hit it on the up
13:17Andreas Haas has to go
13:19eight for one USA
13:21Monank Patel
13:23played so many crucial valuable innings over the years for the US
13:29Nawaz Deep
13:31leading edge
13:32with a fielder there
13:33the catch is taken
13:34Nawaz Deep among the wickets
13:38there's the invaluable wicket of the captain Monank Patel
13:41but with the left arm going across
13:45it brings the leading edge into play
13:47and with this pitch that has been stopping
13:50there have been plenty of catching practice
13:53a duck for the USA captain
13:56eleven for two
13:57Malint Kumar comes in
13:59tiny little role to play back in 2024
14:05well taken that shot mid wicket
14:10such an opportunity for the United States of America here in Mumbai
14:14catching practice in the ring
14:16whether it be cover mid off mid wicket
14:19often you're seeing the ball sail over your head in T20 cricket
14:22not here
14:23not this evening
14:24not this evening
14:2513 for three
14:30Sanjay Krishnamurti
14:32oh just short
14:36just out
14:37tremendous attempt
14:39the ball was flying to his right
14:41he's a fielder there
14:42he's done magnificently has he now
14:51it's nicely steered
14:57position
14:59missed it
15:00previous ball this time around
15:01he gets it quite nicely
15:03that six
15:08and it's long
15:10look at that
15:13outside the off stump gets the
15:15whole swing of the bat
15:17it's a six anywhere
15:19for the edge for four
15:23straight up and out
15:28there's the extra ball and that's gone out of the ground for six
15:32I hope I didn't give you a heart attack when I said out
15:34I meant out of the sound of the boundary
15:37so 14 of that over the extra ball goes for six it's 63 for three
15:47that'll be 4-2 the runs are starting to flow now
15:55what happened there
15:58was beaten but he kept going
16:00and in doing so
16:01he allowed
16:02Ishan Kishan
16:03all the time that he needed
16:05they've asked him to wait though
16:06he wanted to be certain he's gathered the ball
16:09roll it through
16:13ball is in the hand
16:14and the look at this
16:15is broken as the batter is
16:16out of his ground
16:17satisfied
16:18my decision for the biggest
16:20that is such a blue
16:33such a blow to the United States that partnership was looking so good
16:37and now they're 71 for four after 12 overs and million Kumar is out for 34
16:43batting all-rounder in some ways Shubham runs in it
16:52good shot
16:53it's a very good shot just a little fuller again
16:56every time the ball has been fuller it's been easier for the better
16:59brilliant big hit
17:02the USA is saying look we might be behind in this game but we're going to keep going
17:10Harsha this kid is reading the game really well he understands you need a boundary every over
17:14straight up straight up he's got the distance goes for six what a way to end the over
17:25Shubham runs and they get six nine of Varun Chakravarty's over they're still in the game folks
17:3098 for four
17:32that's high it's not going to go the distance it's Rinko saying underneath it
17:46and he's safe as ours is
17:50he doesn't miss too many
17:53Sanjay was playing well
17:55falls for 37
17:56yep he was playing really well
17:58just a little bit of grip you can see the rotation on the seam you can see the rotation on the seam
18:01you can see there it's just held up a little bit that's not an easy shot to play
18:06in these conditions he's not putting it down
18:10Mr. Murphy played nicely there for 37 from 31
18:13five down 98
18:16so that brings in Harmeet Singh
18:22and goes first ball and finds the fielder
18:26straight to Momotsu around it's two wickets in two balls for Shepard Patel
18:31because he's trying to finish the game
18:33he's trying to make it out of the reach of USA
18:35and he's almost done that now
18:38a little trouble now for USA
18:40who have fought bravely throughout the match
18:42Hamid goes without scoring
18:4498 for six
18:46Mohamed Monshin comes out to the middle
18:48so Akshar Patel on a hat-trick
18:50Mohamed Monshin
18:52Mohamed Monshin
18:53had-trick ball
19:02the boy tried that
19:03just away from that manager time
19:09benefited from was the Surya Kumar Yalab innings
19:12have innings and to the extent that he got or 84 and to the extent that they
19:18got 160
19:21swings and taking in the deep that's what do you expect at the end of the innings
19:28and trying to force the pace with its fall he is the bit the master really
19:34talking about his intuitive nature and how he can outthink batters whether he
19:39did so there or not only he knows but so good at mopping up the tail so good
19:44against the opening batters as well such a brilliant addition to this very good
19:50side insane goes for most seen rather goes for eight from nine
19:54comes out to the middle
19:59that's gone long
20:05there in the fence
20:10not quite coming out right
20:18goes again will land safely get a couple of runs
20:27just uh eight balls remaining uh nomad siraj should bowl the final over
20:34nicely played
20:40gets inside of the line and just uses the pace
20:43gone that has gone a long way that'll do it's going to be uh nowhere near enough
20:52that's a big hit into the crowd and good job young boy was uh kept his eyes on the ball catches it
21:08wide signal
21:13wide signal
21:14that's close the finger has gone up
21:22so india win
21:26the wide not given siraj ends up with the wicket
21:35and india win by 29 in runs and the defending champions get the first game out of the way
21:41yeah they'll be mighty pleased they were tested
21:46and they were tested uh at the start and in the middle of their innings and it took something
21:51extremely special from their skipper
21:53to get them into a position where they could go on and win the game and the bowlers have been pretty
21:59good throughout too good workout for india but usa as i said early will take plenty from the game they deserve
22:06lots of credit they were pushed hard and that man there simply the difference between the two sides
22:13really and it's india who win this first game by 29 runs 160 you felt on this surface that just did a
22:21little bit more and a little slower than we thought not the power play they hope 34 37 37 so
22:27moments in the middle there to set things up to try and get them over the line but
22:31a little bit of an experience and some excellent bowling and some good captaincy just fell a little
22:37bit short in the end 132
