India secured a convincing victory over the United States of America by 7 wickets in their Group A encounter at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York during the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup.
Chasing a modest target of 111 runs set by the USA, India’s batting line-up cruised to victory in 18.4 overs, losing only 3 wickets.
