T20 World Cup: Last-minute replacement Mohammad Siraj led with a lion-hearted effort, claiming 3-29 and with Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel claiming two wickets apiece, India defeated USA by 29 runs to start their campaign on a winning note in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 on Saturday.
Asked to bat first on a helpful pitch, India had survived a scare and an early collapse, reduced to 77/6, thanks to a majestic unbeaten 84 by skipper Suryakumar Yadav to post a defendable 161/9. Later, the bowlers got into the act to help the defending champions start with a win.
Siraj claimed 3-29, Arshdeep bagged 2-18, and Axar claimed 2-24 as India restricted the USA to 132/9 in 20 overs at the Wankhede Stadium, struggling to victory in their first match in Group A.
