India beat USA by 6 wickets

(Scorecard)

Runner-ups from the previous edition, India put the USA in to bat first after winning the toss and Henil Patel instantly validated that decision by delivering a fiery opening spell that broke the resistance of the USA top order. The right-arm pacer picked up three wickets in his opening burst.

The Indians then tightened the screws on the USA middle order to pick up wickets at regular intervals as Deepesh Devendran, Ambarish RS, Khilan Patel and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi all nabbed a wicket each.

Patel then returned to clean up the tail and bag the first five-wicket haul of the tournament to bowl USA out for just 107.
