Match Sanjay Krishnamurthi: Player of the Match Sanjay Krishnamurthi said that patience against spin and a calculated late assault helped him produce one of his finest knocks for USA in their 31-run win over Namibia in the T20 World Cup 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.

Sanjay smashed a blistering 68 off just 33 balls to power USA to a formidable 199-run total after the openers had laid a solid foundation in the powerplay. The USA eventually restricted Namibia to 168/6 in 20 overs to register their second consecutive victory in the tournament.

“I think against the spinners, it was holding a little bit. So I didn't want to take any unnecessary risks, but my strength is hitting off the back foot. I was looking for that ball and trying to rotate the strike. After 14 overs, is when I decided to go,” Sanjay said after receiving the award.
