USA thrash Netherlands by 93 runs in T20 WC
In a remarkable display of skill and teamwork, the United States cricket team secured their first victory in the T20 World Cup by defeating the Netherlands by 93 runs in Chennai. Young talent Saiteja Mukkamalla emerged as the standout performer, scoring a powerful 79 runs off 51 balls, which included five fours and four sixes. His impressive innings, along with Shubham Ranjane's quick-fire 48 off just 24 balls, propelled the USA to a competitive total of 196 for 6. The American bowlers then took center stage, with left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh leading the charge by taking 4 wickets for just 21 runs, effectively dismantling the Netherlands' batting lineup. The Dutch team struggled, collapsing to 103 all out in just 15.5 overs, with notable contributions from Mohammad Mohsin and Shadley van Schalkwyk, who claimed 2 for 19 and 3 for 21 respectively. This victory not only marks a significant turnaround for the USA after their initial defeats but also underscores the potential of their young players on the global stage.
