    T20 WC: Statistical Review From India Vs USA Clash

    By IANS News February 08, 2026 • 11:20 AM View: 55
    T20 World Cup: India began their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup campaign with a 29-run victory over the USA at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, but not without moments of genuine concern. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav’s majestic unbeaten 84 and a timely 3/29 from Mohammed Siraj, drafted in as a last-minute replacement, helped the defending champions avoid early embarrassment in their home tournament.

    India entered the opener under pressure after losing all-rounder Harshit Rana to injury, and with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah ruled out due to illness. The nerves showed as India, asked to bat first on a tricky surface offering movement and grip, slumped to 77/6. Shadley van Schalkwyk led the USA’s charge with incisive bowling, leaving India staring at a sub-par total.

    Suryakumar, however, led from the front in his first T20 World Cup match as captain. Displaying trademark 360-degree strokeplay, he struck 10 fours and four sixes in a 49-ball knock, stabilising the innings alongside Axar Patel and propelling India to a defendable 161/9.
