SHORTS USA GET ON BOARD AT T20 WORLD CUP The United States thrashed Netherlands by 93 runs in their Group A encounter in Chennai yesterday to claim their first vic tory at the 2026 Twenty20 World Cup, thanks to Saiteja Mukkamalla’s knock of 79 and Harmeet Singh’s devastating four wicket haul. With the victory, the US moved up to third in the group behind India and Pakistan having played a game more, while the Netherlands are fourth, also with two points but behind the Americans on net run rate. Put into bat after losing the toss, the US smashed an imposing 196-6 in 20 overs before dismissing the Netherlands for 103 as Harmeet (4-21) produced the best fig ures for an American in the World Cup to pick up the player of the match award. “When I first saw the wicket in the first innings, the ball was holding quite a bit, even when I went into bat. So the plan was to spin the ball and in the powerplay when I bowled, it did grip from ball one,“ Harmeet said. “That’s the chat we had in the middle innings, So I think the plan was whenever under pressure, look to spin the ball.” In the first innings, American skipper Monank Patel set the tone with a quickfire 36 before Mukkamalla provided the fire works, unleashing five boundaries and four sixes in his knock of 79 off 51 balls. Shubham Ranjane capped the innings with an unbeaten 48 off 24 to guide the US to a competitive total while all-rounder Bas de Leede (3-37) emerged as the pick of the bowlers, claiming the crucial wickets of both Patel and Mukkamalla. ARYANSH, SOHAIB FASHION UAE WIN OVER CANADA United Arab Emirates registered their first win of the Twenty20 World Cup after half centuries by Aryansh Sharma and Sohaib Khan secured a five-wicket victory over Canada in a Group D match at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday. Chasing 151 for victory, UAE slumped to 66-4 in the 13th over before a rapid 84-run stand between Aryansh and Sohaib set up their win with two balls to spare. Aryansh made 74 not out, while Sohaib produced a 29-ball blitz of 51. After electing to bat, Canada posted a competitive 150-7 with Harsh Thaker (50) and Navneet Dhaliwal (34) contributing useful runs. UAE seamer Junaid Siddique claimed five of Canada’s seven wickets, conceding 35 runs in his four overs. Left-arm spinner Saad Bin Zafar wrecked UAE’s top order, claiming the wickets of Alishan Sharafu, Mayank Kumar and Harshit Kaushik to put Canada on top but Aryansh proved immovable and brought up his fifty off 41 balls. Sohaib, who hit four sixes, put UAE’s chase back on track with a 28-ball fifty before falling in the final over.
