USA opted to bat after winning the toss but their decision didn’t unfurl too well as the team kept on losing wickets at regular intervals. Arshdeep put them on backfoot starting with a barrage of lethal deliveries. He provided two wickets in the very first over and the batting side was not able to recover from that throughout the match. The 25-year-old disguised the batters with variations in his deliveries and played a key role in the victory.
