India vs USA Live Score: India Victorious
DONE AND DUSTED!
India have beaten USA by 7 wickets. It took India 18.2 overs to score the 111 runs, and at one stage, it even seemed USA might produce yet another upset for the ages. But courtesy of Suryakumar Yadav's 49-ball 50, and of Shivam Dube's supporting act, India have secured their third consecutive win.
With this win, India become the third team to qualify for the Super 8, joining South Africa and Australia.

India vs USA Live Score: Almost There
And, breathe!
Suryakumar Yadav has taken India very close to the target, courtesy of a four and a six off Shadley van Schalkwyk's bowling. Ultimately, the penalty runs might not have been of any significance.
India: 102/3 after 17 overs.
India vs USA Live Score: USA Penalised
PENALTY RUNS!
India would not mind, but you rarely see this in a match at the World Cup. India have been awarded five penalty runs as USA took more than the stipulated 60 seconds to start the new over on three different occasions. Besides that, six runs came from Jasdeep Singh's over.
India: 87/3 after 16 overs.
India vs USA Live Score: Dube Hits a Six
And finally, at the umpteenth time of asking, Shivam Dube has connected a hit. A wild swing over deep mid-wicket gives him maximum rewards – six runs – as nine runs come from Corey Anderson's third over.
India: 76/3 after 15 overs.
