India registered a seven-wicket win over United States at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Kohli departed for a golden duck as Saurabh Netravalkar struck early with India going one down in just the first over. Netravalkar would strike again in his second over, this time sending back skipper Rohit as India were left reeling at 10/2. Rishabh Pant would compound India’s worries when he also got cleaned up by Ali Khan.
The win confirmed India of a Super Eight spot as the side now has 6 points with a game to go in Group A. India’s win in the game means that Pakistan’s chances to qualify for the next stage is now completely dependent on the United States vs Ireland game on June 14. If USA lose that game, Pakistan will have a clear chance of winning against Ireland and entering the Super Eight with four points to their credit.
However, if USA go on to win the game, they will enter the next round with 6 points and Pakistan will be eliminated from the tournament as they can reach to a maximum of four points.

In reply, Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten fifty guided India home in 18.2 overs.
