The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 witnessed a one-sided contest at the MA Chidambaram Stadium as the United States of America (USA) hammered Netherlands by 93 runs in the 21st Match of Group A. After posting an imposing 196/6 in 20 overs, the USA bowlers dismantled the Dutch batting line-up for just 103 in 15.5 overs, registering one of their most comprehensive victories in the tournament.

Saiteja Mukkamalla, Shubham Ranjane lead USA to a massive total

Put in to bat after Netherlands elected to bowl, USA began positively through Monank Patel and Shayan Jahangir. Monank struck a brisk 36 off 22 deliveries, lacing his innings with three fours and a six, while Jahangir added 20 off 14 balls with two maximums to keep the momentum intact during the powerplay.

The innings, however, was anchored brilliantly by Saiteja Mukkamalla. The stylish batter produced a commanding knock of 79 off 51 balls, smashing five boundaries and four sixes. He paced his innings smartly, rotating strike in the middle overs before accelerating at the death. Shubham Ranjane provided the late flourish with a powerful 48 off just 24 deliveries, including three fours and two sixes, pushing USA close to the 200-run mark.

For Netherlands, Bas de Leede was the standout bowler, picking up 3 wickets for 37 runs in his four overs. Logan van Beek and Kyle Klein chipped in with one wicket each, but the Dutch attack struggled to contain the flow of runs on a batting-friendly surface.

Harmeet Singh leads ruthless bowling effort

Chasing 197, Netherlands never found stability. Michael Levitt fell early for 3, and although Max O’Dowd and De Leede attempted to rebuild, regular wickets derailed their pursuit. De Leede top-scored with 23 off 17 balls, while captain Scott Edwards managed 20, but the required rate kept climbing steeply.

The turning point came in the middle overs when Harmeet Singh spun a web around the Dutch batters. The left-arm spinner delivered a match-winning spell of 4 for 21 in his four overs, breaking the backbone of the chase. He was well supported by Shadley van Schalkwyk, who claimed 3 wickets for 21 runs in 2.5 overs, while Nosthush Kenjige and Ali Khan picked up a wicket apiece. Netherlands were eventually bundled out for 103 in 15.5 overs, falling well short of the target.
