India Penalized 5 Runs against USA but Overcome Hurdle to Reach Super 8
The Indian cricket team has made it to the Super 8 round by defeating the US team in the T20 World Cup on 12 June. But in this match, the new US team made India struggle a lot for victory. However, at one time the US team made the match exciting. At the same time, when the Indian team was chasing in this match, something happened which backfired for America. In the T20 World Cup 2024, India was given five penalty runs due to the mistake of the US team, which completely changed the course of the match. In a way, this proved to be the turning point of the match. After all, why did this happen, let us explain to you. 5 runs of America were deducted as penalty, which came to India's account. Actually, America took more than 60 seconds to start a new over 3 times during its bowling.
After the 15th over of the Indian innings, there was a long discussion between the two field umpires. Since the US team had crossed the 60-second limit between overs on three occasions, a penalty of those five runs was imposed. Team India got 5 penalty runs, after which the team dominated the US and registered a win.
Stop Clock Rule: The 'Stop Clock' rule has been imposed for the T20 World Cup 2024. Under this, a time limit of 60 seconds is fixed between two overs. The purpose of bringing this rule was that not much time is wasted between two overs and everything should be done in the match within the stipulated time limit. Earlier this rule was brought as a trial in men's ODI and T20 cricket from December 2023 to April 2024, but now it has been made permanent from June 1.
Under the 'Stop Clock' rule, the bowling team has to be ready to bowl the next over within 60 seconds after the previous over is over. As soon as a team does this for the third time in the match, 5 runs are added to the account of the opposing team. The same happened in the match between India and America. The slow over rate rule is already in force. Under this, the bowling quota of 50 overs has to be completed in three and a half hours in ODIs and 1 hour 25 minutes in T20s. If a team violates this, then a fine is imposed.
The hero of victory in this match from India was Arshdeep Singh (4 wickets for 9 runs in 4 overs). He was also the 'Player of the Match' due to the best bowling of his career. Later, during the run chase, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dubey made a partnership of 67 runs in 65 balls, on the basis of which India defeated America by 7 wickets and made it to the Super 8. America is in second place with 4 points in three matches.
After stopping the American team at 110 runs for 8 wickets, India scored 111 runs in 18.2 overs by losing 3 wickets, which was the highest score on this ground while chasing successfully. India lost the wickets of Virat Kohli (0) and captain Rohit Sharma (3) for 10 runs. Both were dismissed by left-arm fast bowler Sourav Netravalkar (2 wickets for 18 runs). Suryakumar Yadav held one end by scoring an unbeaten 50 runs in 49 balls. He shared a 29-run partnership for the third wicket with Rishabh Pant (18) and then along with Dubey led the team to victory.
