2. Saurabh Netravalkar drops Suryakumar Yadav

USA dominated the chase by sending the top three Indian batters back to the hut with 44 runs on the board. Suryakumar started his onslaught gradually and built a good partnership with Shivam Dube. He was batting on 22 and tried to chip Van Schalkwyk over the infield. Netravalkar stationed at the short third settled under the ball only to drop it at the end.

3. USA were awarded five penalty runs

Just when USA were making inroads to get the better off India, they were handed five penalty runs when India needed 35 runs off 30 balls. The move came as the hosts breached the 60-second mark to start the new over thrice in the game and India started the 16^th over with 81 runs on board in place of 76 before the over commenced.
