India 115-6 (16 ovs) vs USA | SCORECARD

India will be looking to post anything around 150. Not an easy wicket to bat on with plenty turn and grip on offer.

Harmeet Singh with his third over and Suryakumar flicks the tossed up delivery through mid-wicket for a single.

A dot later, Axar Patel gets off the mark by clipping one toward square leg.

Suryakumar then arches back and carves the shortish delivery through backward point for a couple.

Four! Short delivery outside off and Surya guides it through backward point and the fielder tries to cut it but his foot was in contact with the cushions. Boundary given.

Two singles off the final two deliveries. Eight runs came off it.

Saurabh Netravalkar is back into the attack.

Four! Welcome boundary for Axar as he cuts the short, wide ball through point.

Four more! Outside off and Axar guides the off-cutter past short third for a boundary. 100 up for India.

A couple follows through third man as Axar steers one with soft hands. Runs have started to flow for India.

Ali Khan gets his knee stuck in the ground and required medical attention.

Axar then drives the pitched up delivery to long-on and gets a single.

Four! Surya shuffles across and swipes the short of a length delivery uppishly over the infield at square leg. Third boundary of the over.

Six! Right into the slot and Surya flicks it over deep mid-wicket for a flat six. 21 runs came off the over!

Surya is just a hit away from his fifty.
