• 0.2’: WICKET — Abhishek Sharma (0). Ali Khan strikes immediately; India lose an opener first ball faced, a true golden duck that jolts the crowd.

• 1’–4’: India counterpunch. Ishan Kishan swings hard, and Tilak Varma joins in with confident strokeplay to keep the run rate afloat despite the early loss.

• 4.3’: DROPPED CHANCE — Kishan survives. A sharp chance goes down at backward point; India briefly sense a let-off.

• 5.2’: WICKET — Ishan Kishan (20 off 16). Van Schalkwyk pulls it back with a hit-the-deck length; Kishan’s attack finds mid-off.

• 5.5’: WICKET — Tilak Varma (25 off 16). Another van Schalkwyk breakthrough, this time a miscued pull to mid-wicket inside the ring.

1. Abhishek Sharma — 0

2. Ishan Kishan — 20 (16)

3. Tilak Varma — 25 (16)

Key USA names in the action:

• Shadley van Schalkwyk: the spell that flipped the innings — three wickets clustered in the powerplay, plus excellent pace-off execution.

• Ali Khan: the opening blow to Abhishek that set the tone.

• Saurabh Netravalkar: working the other end to squeeze, keeping batters from freely lining up van Schalkwyk.

Standout performers & turning points

• Shadley van Schalkwyk: This is the defining phase of ind vs usa t20 wc so far. Three wickets in a single powerplay spell isn’t just damage — it’s structural collapse, forcing India into “innings management” far earlier than they planned.

• Suryakumar Yadav’s arrival: India’s best route back is controlled aggression: rotate the strike, pick one boundary an over, and avoid gifting the fifth wicket before the halfway mark.

• Monank Patel’s toss call: Choosing to field has been justified by disciplined seam bowling and sharp match-ups; the USA captain got immediate reward.

What it means — ind vs usa t20 wc

India still have time, but the margin for error has evaporated. If Suryakumar and Rinku can take India to a stable platform by 12–14 overs, the finishers can still push this into a competitive total. If the USA find one more wicket quickly, ind vs usa t20 wc risks turning into a scramble for respectability — and a massive early statement from a confident, well-drilled American attack.
