United States of America have won the toss and have opted to field

Monank Patel | USA captain: We are going to bowl first. Looks a good surface. High-scoring ground, so we will look to hunt it down. World Cup is one of the biggest stages for us. Lot of expectations from the US so we will look to do well. We played a couple of warmup games at the DY patil and we had a good run there. We have 6 batters, 2 all rounders and 3 bowlers.

Suryakumar Yadav | India captain: We were looking to bat first. Wicket looks good, there is wind around so we don't expect dew. It's alive even before the game starts and I am sure it is going to be even better. We have Washi missing out, Sanju missing out. Unfortunately Bumrah is not well so Siraj is playing.

Netravalkar to Tilak Varma, SIX, that is high, so high and lands just in front of the sight screen. Tilak is not one to hold back when the opposition is trying to build pressure. Full outswinger, Tilak steps out, hits throught he line. Didn't time it that well but good enough to clear the straight boundary

van Schalkwyk to Ishan Kishan, out Caught by Milind Kumar!! Smashed flat and straight to mid-off. USA hold onto a catch this time. Van Schalkwyk is absolutely delighted as the plan to bowl wide of off to Ishan has worked. It was a ball that could have been hit. He opted for power than placement so he hit it too well and too flat to pick out mid-off, instead of going squarer through cover or point.

van Schalkwyk to Tilak Varma, out Caught by Monank Patel!! It's three down inside the powerplay. The USA are rocking India early here. Tilak was never middling the ball and he mistimes a pull shot. Smart short ball from van Schalkwyk, Tilak looks to clear the infield and take advantage of the remaining powerplay balls. But the ball jumps on him to hit the splice of the bat, simple chance at mid-wicket and Monank is pumped.
