India vs USA, U-19 World Cup 2026 Highlights: Henil Patel’s five-wicket haul, Abhigyan Kundu’s 42 help IND beat USA by 6 wickets

Star prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi gets into the action as a bowler now. Can he finish off the USA's innings? Oh, definitely he can. Nitish Sudini, the set-batter, was looking to get quick runs but chip it on long-off where Khilan Patel completed a stunning diving catch to end the USA's innings, which was nothing short of a misery for them.

USA - 107 all out in 35.2 overs

Nitish Sudini, who is set now, hits Khilan Patel and then Kanishk Chouhan for a boundary each in the 33rd and the 34th over to take USA past the 100-run mark. These are important, handy runs for both Nitish and the USA as finally, the scoreboard is moving for them, who have struggled for the majority of the innings.

USA - 103/7 in 34 overs

Duration – Score

Change of ends for Kanishk Chouhan, who comes from the other end. For the next four overs, Kanishk himself, RS Ambrish, and then Khilan Patel combined to give just 10 runs as the USA crawled to 80 after 29 overs. The circle fielders are quick and agile, denying the USA batters anything extra.

USA - 80/6 in 29 overs

India have complete control of the proceedings at this point in time. A lot of chirping from Indian keeper Abhigyan Kundu is also adding pressure to the USA batters. There are just way too many dot deliveries, which are hurting the batters. Nitish Sudini and Adnit Jhamb have shown positive intent in the middle but the USA need them to bat long if they need anything to fight for.

USA - 60/5 in 23 overs

Spin from both ends now. Kanishk Chouhan replaces RS Ambrish from the attack. He keeps his line in the middle, targeting the stumps. Just a single from his first over before Khilan Patel comes back with his third. FOUR! Nitish Sudini Crunches it hard, a fine shot to get his first boundary. Fifty up for USA with his boundary.

USA - 51/5 in 20 overs

Spin for the first time today as right-arm leg-break Khilan Patel comes into the attack. He replaces Deepesh Devendran. OUT! Khilan looks to complete his over quickly, but ends up getting a surprise soft dismissal to start his spell today with a wicket. Amogh Arepally offers a straightforward catch to Vihaan Malhotra at cover, and with that, five of USA batters are back in the hut now.

USA - 39/5 in 16 overs

First change in the bowling attack. RS Ambrish replaces Deepesh Devendra. He starts well, giving just two singles, one off the bat and the other off the leg byes.

Okay, so Henil Patel isn't done yet with his first spell. Skipper Ayush Mhatre continues with him for one more over. Can he produce any magic in his sixth over?

WICKET! Yes, he can! Answers instantly by removing the USA captain, Utkarsh Srivastava. The right-hander was in a double mind whether to play the ball or leave and ended up getting played on after an inside edge disturbed the woodwork behind. He departs for a five-ball duck.

Adnit Jhamb is the new batter in the middle. OUT! And another scalp for Henil Patel, who gets it right again. Bowls a quick one outside off, luring a set Arjun Mahesh to go for a lofted shot, but an outside edge flies straight to third man this time, giving Henil his second wicket of the over, and his third overall.

USA - 35/4 in 12 overs

Great control from Deepesh Devendran, who is hitting the deck hard and has been very disciplined in his line and lengths. His fourth over cost India only a solitary run before Henil Patel came back for his fourth over.

FOUR! Second boundary for the USA. Arjun Mahesh throws his bat against a length delivery pitched outside off to get a thick outside edge which flies over a flying Vihaan Malhotra at the first slip. Five from this over.

USA 23/1 in 8 overs
