5.2 slapped to mid off, and this time, USA do hold on! Kishan has to go! This is right in the slot outside off. Kishan gives it the big wind-up and absolutely middles it. But like Abhishek, he also picks out the fielder. That was travelling very quickly but Milind did well to soften the impact and gobble up the chance! 45/2

1.2 straight to deep cover, and there is a deafening silence at the Wankhede Stadium! This is superb field placement by USA. Back of a length outside off. Abhishek tries that trademark lofted back-foot punch and gets a decent piece of it too. Hits it flat but also straight to the sweeper. Could not have picked him out better in fairness, and India have been stunned early! 8/1

5.5 another splice, and another falls! Wankhede Stadium is a library now! Bashed into the track just outside off and this gets a little big on Tilak. He tries to mow it away but the lack of room, plus the slight extra bounce, means that he miscues it completely. Easiest of catches for the USA skipper at mid wicket, and India are three down inside the powerplay! 46/3

5.6 two in two, and India are crumbling at the Wankhede! Slower ball banged into the track outside off and this just does not arrive. Dube plays three strokes in his head before trying to bail out of the fourth attempt. Cannot do so in time and the ball swirls off the top edge towards short fine. Netravalkar runs back and takes a smart overhead catch. India in all sorts now! 46/4

11.4 in the air, and into another fielder's palms! Rinku falls, and half the Indian side is now back in the shed! Tossed up nicely on a fullish length just outside off. Rinku's eyes light up and he thinks he can smash this over long on. Shanks it off the inside half of the bat, though, and long on, stationed well inside the fence, snares the chance. Rinku disappointed; USA, anything but! 72/5

12.4 Hardik bites the dust too, and this night goes from bad to worse for India! Could not have been going better for USA, though. This is on a shorter length outside off and the ball holds in the surface. Spins away too and Hardik, trying to carve it over extra cover, slices it rather meekly. Sweeper cover is placed exactly for that miscue, and India, believe it or not, are six down inside 13 overs! 77/6

16.4 caught on the fence, and another boundary-rider leads to an Indian batter's downfall! Back of a length just outside off. Spins back in a smidgen and that cramps Axar for room as he looks to swipe at it. Off the inside half of the bat and Mohsin, stood a few yards inside the fence, takes it comfortably near his chest. India three wickets away from being bowled out now! 118/7

18.6 Arshdeep swings, and Arshdeep departs! Slower ball on a length outside off. Arshdeep has a good-old swipe at and slices across it too much. The ball goes high up and Milind makes no mistake, standing well inside the long off fence! 140/8

19.6 dipping low full toss outside off. SKY gets down low and then drags it towards deep mid wicket. SKY is happy with the single. Chakravarthy tries to pinch the second, only to see his captain not move a muscle at the other end. SKY finishes unbeaten on 84, and India finish with 161! 161/9

1.4 in the air, and snapped up sharply by Tilak! Back of a length outside off, and this seems to just stop a touch. Gous absolutely laces this back-foot punch but cannot keep it down fully. Tilak swoops down low at cover point and sends the USA opener on his way. Big early wicket for Siraj and of course, for India! 8/1

3.2 scuffed to mid wicket, and Siraj is breaking the back of this batting unit! Slinked in full on middle and off. Nips in with the angle and Mukkamalla, trying to go downtown, mistimes it completely. The bat face closes upon impact and he pops it straight to Chakravarthy. India all over USA like a rash now! 13/3

2.1 skewed up, and taken! Arshdeep on the board too, and the Wankhede Stadium is rocking! Full on the pads and this seems like the out-swinging. Moves away just a shade and that is enough to induce the leading edge. Monank wanted to work to leg but all he managed was a tame chip to mid off. India on the prowl! 11/2

11.6 Milind goes walkabouts and he pays the price! Fizzed through on a length outside off. Milind does not read it and gets cut in absolute half. Then, for some reason, he wanders down the track and Kishan, who fumbles initially, has all the time in the world to recover and whip off the bails. A bizarre way to get out but Chakarvarthy, as he so often does, breaks a crucial partnership! 71/4

15.2 oh, this is going to bring snow! And it is eventually taken by Rinku! Tossed up a touch on a fullish length on off. Krishnamurthi has an enormous swipe at it and only gets the height he wants. Rinku runs in from deep mid wicket, circles under it, settles and then sends the set batter on his way. Big wicket for India! 98/5

19.6 India are home, finally! They were pushed to the brink, but they have managed to survive a scare! Siraj finishes it off fittingly by darting a pin-point yorker on leg stump. Ranjane looks for the sweep and misses. Trapped right in front and the finger went up just as quickly as Siraj began celebrating. A comfortable win, if you look at the margin. It was anything but, though! 132/8

15.3 Axar goes bang-bang, and USA losing their way now! Speared in full on leg stump. Harmeet thinks this is there in his arc and he unleashes the slog sweep. Does not get the elevation or the timing he wants, though, and Siraj accepts the offering gleefully inside the deep mid wicket fence. Axar on a hat-trick now! 98/6

17.4 Mohsin continues swinging and this time, it leads to his downfall! On the shorter side, angling into middle and leg. Mohsin is cramped for room on the pull and cannot free his arms adequately. Pops it off the higher part of the bat and Tilak completes the most regulation of catches at deep mid wicket! 110/7
