USA gave India a run for their money in a tense T20 World Cup 2024 match on Wednesday.
USA, who had earlier beaten Canada and former champions Pakistan, put pressure on India right from the start.
On a tricky pitch in New York, India scored 110/8 in 20 overs.
Then, they reduced India to 39/3 with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Rishabh Pant back in the hut.
Though India did not lose any more wickets to reach the target in 18.2 overs, unbeaten batters Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube did not have it easy.
India got an unexpected help as USA were docked five runs and they received a penalty.
USA stand-in captain Aaron Jones was not happy and had a lengthy chat with the umpires.
The hosts were docked five runs due to a new penalty rule.
It was because USA went past 60 seconds to start a new over 3 times in the innings.
As per the new rules, that's a penalty.
