Talking about the match, another upset looked on the cards when the world's top-ranked T20I side fell to 10/2 chasing 111, with star openers Virat Kohli (0) and Rohit Sharma (3) sent to pavillion early by Saurabh Netravalkar.

However, India's middle order held their nerve on a challenging surface, chipping away at the score, with Suryakumar Yadav leading the way through a match-winning half-century after being dropped by Netravalkar.

Rishabh Pant's 18 from 20 balls laid the groundwork, and Shivam Dube (31*) contributed significantly to the victory with ten balls remaining.

India will take on Canada in their last group match on Saturday at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Florida. USA will lock horns with Ireland on Friday at the same venue. (ANI)
