CHENNAI: Saiteja Mukkamalla's attractive 79 and a four-wicket haul by former India U-19 star Harmeet Singh powered United States to a comfortable 93-run victory over the Netherlands in a group league fixture of the T20 World Cup here on Friday. This is USA's first-ever T20I victory over the Netherlands. Left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh (4/21) didn't bowl too many wicket-taking deliveries yet Netherlands batters were left in a tangle as they were bowled out for 103 in 15.5 overs. Harmeet's figures were the best by a USA bowler in a T20 World Cup match. The Netherlands were never really in the game for a chase on a track that got slower with the passage of time.
