India became the third team to qualify for the Super 8s of the T20 World Cup 2024, as they defeated the USA on June 12. This match was played at the Nassau County Cricket Ground, which hosted its last game before demolition.

India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bowl first. Steven Taylor (24) and Nitish Kumar (27) were the top scorers for the USA as they made 110/8 in 20 overs. For India, Arshdeep Singh took 4/9, and Hardik Pandya took two wickets.

In response, Saurabh Netravalkar of the USA hurt India badly with the quick wickets of Virat Kohli (0) and Rohit Sharma (3). Rishabh Pant (18) and Suryakumar Yadav brought some stability, but Ali Khan gave the USA a peek by dismissing Pant.

But then Suryakumar (50*) and Shivam Dube (31*) added 70 unbeaten runs for the 4^th wicket to take India to the win in 18.2 overs with 7 wickets in hand. Arshdeep Singh was the Player of the Match for his 4/9.

With this win, India qualified for the Super 8s, becoming the third team after South Africa and Australia to do so.

The cricket fraternity was all praises for the application Indian batters showed on this pitch and lauded them on social media.

Here are the posts:

Good win for India. SKY's mature 50 & fantastic bowling by the team, especially Arshdeep Singh was commendable ???????? USA put up a good fight but it wasn’t their day today.

India in Super 8 but but not without struggle. US defended 110 stoutly. A dropped catch & 5 penalty runs allowed India to break free from a tight situation. Bowlers excelled for Rohit. Runs for SKY and Dube on dubious pitch eases middle order concerns. Runless Kohli some worry

Very very good knock from Surya in difficult batting conditions on a difficult track. Good stand with Shivam. That he did not give up will do him good. @RevSportz

In T20s, every single run counts, and it's even more evident in the low-scoring matches we've seen in the USA. Hats off to USA for their fighting spirit! That 5-run penalty proved to make a huge difference#IndVsUsa #T20WorldCup
