T20 World Cup: Suryakumar's 84 Not Out Takes India To Respectable 161/9 Vs USA
T20 World Cup: Skipper Suryakumar Yadav led from the front with a brilliant unbeaten 84 as India extricated themselves from a precarious 77/6 to post a fighting total of 161/9 against the USA in their opening match of Group A in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.
After his skipper had opted to bowl first, Shadley van Schalkwyk made full use of the movement offered by the Wankhede pitch that was gripping and holding the ball. But Suryakumar Yadav showed his bowlers how to bat on such a wicket as he hammered 10 fours and four sixes in his 49-ball knock to help the defending champions post a respectable total.
India scored 46/4 in the Power-play, 69/2 in the middle overs before closing it out with 46/3 in death against some fine bowling by the Americans, who, however, dropped at least five catches.
