"18955 attendance at Chepauk,"

USA has scored 196/6. Will Netherlands be able to score this ?

Inserted to bat, USA wasted little time to get going. They came out with an aggressive mindset and scored 53 in the powerplay. Jahangir was the aggressor in the opening stand. Saiteja Mukkamalla, back in the XI, joined his captain Monank Patel and the duo batted beautifully to forge a half-century partnership. Sanjay Krishnamurthi couldn't make an impact today but young Saiteja batted superbly - a knock filled with classy strokes. Van beek and Bas de Leede bowled a couple of tight overs and the latter eventually removed the set batter. Just when it looked like the Dutch would pull things back in the death overs, Shubham Ranjane played a handy cameo to take his team's total close to 200. Dew has already set in, so bowling won't be easy in these conditions. Can Netherlands take advantage of it and keep their winning streak against USA intact?
