WESTBURY, N.Y.  — No upset this time for the United States as the home team was easily beaten by cricket heavyweight India at the Twenty20 World Cup on Wednesday.

Suryakumar Yadav’s half-century powered India to a seven-wicket win over the U.S., which had shocked Pakistan last week.

India, which advanced to the next round of the competition with the victory, won by seven wickets — meaning they eclipsed the 110-run total put up by the U.S. team and still had seven more players who didn’t have to bat.

With the win, India reached the “super eight” round. The U.S. needs to beat Ireland on Friday to advance.

Yadvav’s 50 runs came off 49 balls included two fours and two sixes. He put on 72 runs off 65 balls for the unbeaten fourth wicket with Shivam Dube, who scored 31 not out as India finished with 111-3 in 18.2 overs in reply to 110-8 (20 overs) by the United States.

Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh took 4-9 in four overs to restrict the co-hosts after India had won the toss and opted to field at the Nassau County International Stadium.

After the U.S. scored 110 runs — well short of an average T20 tally — it was India’s turn to bat.

India was in early trouble in its chase as Indian-born medium pacer Saurabh Netravalkar continued his golden run for the Americans.

After bowling the co-hosts to the upset over Pakistan, the software engineer from Redwood Shores’ Oracle celebrated the wickets of Indian superstars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

Kohli, the former captain of the Indian national team, was caught behind for a golden duck — when a batsman gets out on the first ball they face in a match  — in what surely will become a career highlight for Netravalkar. He tipped the ball behind and the wicketkeeper, the baseball equivalent of a catcher, made the grab for the first Indian wicket. Sharma fell to a slower delivery after just 3 runs, as Netravalkar finished with 2-18 in four overs.

The crowd at the temporary cricket stadium about an hour outside New York was filled with thousands of fans wearing light blue and orange India shirts, but there was also plenty of support for the home team.

Those American fans were noticed by the players on the field.

“This is something that we’ve been talking about over the last couple of years, wanting more fans for USA cricket,” United States captain Aaron Jones said. “So now is the time that we’re really enjoying it.”

Rishabh Pant scored 18 off 20 balls batting at number three, but was bowled off an Ali Khan delivery that slowed low. India was down to 39-3 in 7.3 overs with the U.S. raising visions of an even bigger shock.

Yadav and Dube absorbed the pressure, however, and battled hard to dig India out of its hole. They didn’t look to score quickly against the duo’s celebrated natural style of play, instead spending time at the difficult wicket.

India crossed 50 only after 11 overs. But the chase was given a boost when five penalty runs were awarded after the 15th over, with the U.S. guilty of running the clock past 60 seconds between overs on three separate occasions.

Yadav then took 15 runs off Shadley van Schalkwyk’s 17th over, as India crossed the finish line with relative ease.

Like several other sports, a cricket match begins with a coin toss. India won that and chose to play in the field first, putting the Americans up to bat.

The very first throw from Arshdeep Singh sped by the bat of Shayan Jahangir and hit his leg as he stepped in front of the stumps — three sticks of wood protruding from the ground. In baseball, that scenario would have put Jahangir on first base. In cricket, it’s an out if the ball would have knocked the smaller sticks, known as bails, off the stumps if not impeded. It goes in the book as an “lbw,” short for “leg before wicket.”

A few moments after Jahangir walked off the field, the Americans lost another batsman when Andries Gous hit a ball in the air that was caught by Hardik Pandya.

Two outs, or two wickets in cricket lingo, gone so soon made for a terrible start for a team that has so far exceeded expectations.

The American recovery came in the second half of their 20 overs (about 120 pitched balls). After scoring only 42 runs in the first part of their batting period, the U.S. players added 68 runs in the final 10 overs to finish with a respectable 110 runs with eight wickets gone.

Nitish Kumar and Steven Taylor were the highest scorers for the U.S., with 27 and 24 runs, respectively. Jones, the batsman who led the way against Pakistan with 36 runs and scored a whopping 94 in the first match against Canada, managed only 11 on Wednesday.

“They’re going from strength to strength and I can hope nothing but the best for them,” India captain Rohit Sharma said. “They’re hard-working guys, but yeah, they’re making their mark here in U.S.”
