Who won yesterday India vs USA T20 World Cup 2024 match: Key highlights of New York game
financialexpress.comThe marvellous match between India and USA ends with a win to Men in Blue with Arshdeep Singh’s precision and Suryakumar Yadav’s composure led India to a seven-wicket victory, securing a spot in the Super Eight of the T20 World Cup on Wednesday.
