11:02pm And, that will be all from us for today at the T20 World Cup. India, Pakistan and West Indies all given scares, but the more fancied opposition did just enough on each occasion. What will we have in store tomorrow? Well, join us to find out. We will be back tomorrow nice and early, right from when Afghanistan take on NZ until Sri Lanka kicking off their campaign against Ireland. Until then, from Thilak, myself (Shashwat) and everyone here at ESPNcricinfo, it is goodbye!

Suryakumar Yadav again, now speaking as the India captain: Only I can tell how much pressure I was feeling (smiles) but I had the belief. I knew if I bat till the end, I can make a difference. It was a little different wicket. But we knew when we woke up, there was not a lot of sun outside. Curator tried their best. There was not enough sunlight to have the pitch rolled and watered. We cannot brush everything under the carpet, we need to bat much better. After winning also, you get to learn a lot of things. Could have batted better and smarter. 1-2 partnerships could have gotten us to 160 (more easily). Bumrah was having fever. Abhishek was also under the weather. Washington will join us in Delhi.

Monank Patel, USA captain: I thought our bowlers did a good job. Pitch was not easy to read. The variations they bowled in the powerplay...we kept them quiet for a while. We dropped catches and that cost us. At one stage, felt we could restrict them for 130. I thought 160 was a good score (to chase on this wicket). Top three could not perform, soft dismissals. The intent was a bit missing because we lost wickets initially. Lots of learnings and positives from this game. The way we handled the pressure, the crowd, we managed it really well. We made few mistakes but we will try to come back stronger.

Suryakumar Yadav, Player of the Match: I knew some day, it was going to come. I was trying to hold the innings for the team (in the last year). Packed my kit bag (after my last innings last year), spent time with my family and then went to Nagpur, and it was a different feeling. I always felt there was a need for a batter to bat to the end. Did not feel it was a 180-190 wicket, it was more like a 140 wicket. Have played a lot of my cricket here, so I know how to bat on similar wickets. 77-6, from there, batting till the end, you had to understand one batter has to bat till the end. Was just trying to play good shots and my shots.

10:42pm A solid bowling display by India. They were not at their absolute best but the firepower they had shone through. Arshdeep and Siraj dented the USA charge in the powerplay and they just could not recover after it. There was a brief passage when Milind and Krishnamurthi were together but once Chakravarthy broke that stand, it was a long way back for USA.

India, as it turned out, had plenty in the bank eventually but after 13-14 overs tonight, it felt they were in a proper scrap and they needed their skipper to turn it up several notches to take them to a score that they would ultimately defend.
