IND vs USA Live Score Today: Team effort from the Men in Blue!
India begin their campaign with a win, but they were made to work hard for it. Suryakumar Yadav once again rescued his side with a superb knock before the bowlers struck early and kept the pressure on.
USA stayed in the contest through a solid stand between Milind Kumar and Sanjay Krishnamurthi, but Axar Patel’s two-wicket over in the 16th sealed the game. Shubham Ranjane fought through pain to hit a few big shots, while Arshdeep Singh stood out once again with the ball.

IND vs USA Live Cricket Score Today: India beat USA by 29 runs at Wankhede
What a comeback for Team India — and for Mohammed Siraj, who finishes with a superb three-wicket haul on his return to T20Is. He seals the game with a pinpoint yorker on middle and leg. Shubham Ranjane crouches to swing but misses, getting struck on the pad right in front. Umpire Paul Reiffel raises the finger, and USA choose not to review. A fitting end to a fine spell from Siraj. India (161/9) beat USA (132/8) by 29 runs at Wankhede
