WESTBURY, N.Y. — There was no upset this time for the United States as the home team was easily beaten by cricket heavyweight India at the Twenty20 World Cup. Suryakumar Yadav's half-century powered India to a seven-wicket win over the U.S., which had shocked Pakistan last week. With the win, India advanced to the Super 8 round. The U.S. beat Canada in its first game and had a six-day rest since its victory over 2022 runner-up Pakistan. The tournament co-hosts had a win later Wednesday when the West Indies beat New Zealand by 13 runs.
