New Zealand Vs USA LIVE Cricket Score, ICC T20 World Cup Warm-Up Match: Gous Falls For Duck As NZ Lose Early Wicket

Disaster for the chase! Gous goes for a big shot first ball but mistimes it, and Neesham takes a sharp catch. He departs for a duck, leaving Saiteja Mukkamalla to steady the innings.

The chase is underway with Gous and Saiteja Mukkamalla at the crease. Gous takes strike as Matt Henry gets the ball rolling from the other end.

USA 27/2 (3)

New Zealand posted a competitive 208/7 in their 20 overs, powered by Tim Seifert’s explosive 66 off 31 balls before retiring out. Devon Conway chipped in with 16, Mark Chapman and Glenn Phillips added quickfire contributions of 40 and 17 respectively, while Daryl Mitchell and Mitchell Santner provided steady support.

Netravalkar strikes! Mitchell looks to go big but doesn’t get all of it, picking out Mohsin in the deep. The catch is taken cleanly and Mitchell’s brisk knock comes to an end on 32 off 21, with a four and a six.

van Schalkwyk keeps things tight. Neesham can’t get it away and dots up, before Mitchell nudges the previous delivery to square leg for a single.

Mitchell turns up the heat at the death. He muscles Mohsin straight back over long-on for six, follows it up by punching a couple through long-off, and then finishes the over in style, a crisp drive that races past long-off for four.

Chapman cuts loose. He gets down early and sweeps Harmeet Singh fine for four, racing it past fine leg, and the very next ball disappears even further, a clean swing through the line, launched deep over mid-wicket for six. Momentum firmly shifting here.

We are underway. Conway and Seifert walk out to the middle, Conway takes strike, and Milind Kumar opens the attack.

United States of America have won the toss and have opted to field.
