12.11pm Well, that was a gutsy effort from USA, after losing two wickets in their opening over. Arshdeep was magnificent throughout, but India took their foot off the throat, with an odd over from Dube and no sign of Jadeja. Bumrah went wicketless for a change as Taylor and Nitish led the line with a brace of 20s. Hardik was excellent with the ball too.
Here is Nitish for his mid-match thoughts: "We're a bit disappointed, 20 short, but in past games 110 has been pretty tough. Nice playing this big crowd, wicket wasn't the easiest, but all about getting a big total." Short and to the point. Ekanth will be here for the chase shortly.
Andrea : "These low-scoring games remind me of the good old days when there was always something in it for the bowlers. Love the back and forth between bowler and batsman."
Vikram : "USA has done better than I expected. Well done USA. Let's C what India can do. Hope they all bat like Rishabh Pant"
Jasdeep Singh run out 2 (11m 7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 28.57
Vignesh: "What USA is aiming for is to set the same target imposed by India the other day against Pak!" It's all in the same ballpark... so to speak
prasanth: "Bumrah is the student who can ace very difficult subjects and exams but not so well with easier ones :-)"
Naman Jogani: "Refreshing to see this style of t20 cricket after the IPL where 200 runs were the par score! More bowler friendly pitches might even encourage more youngsters to pick up frontline bowling!"
Six balls for USA to set something closer to a run a ball. What's feasible as Siraj returns?

Three balls to make it a five-for... you wouldn't bet against it
