A security guard was hit by USA opener Steven Taylor's six during the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 match against Team India at the Nassau International County Stadium in New York. A video of the same emerged on ICC's official social media handle as security official copped a blow on his chest.
The incident occurred in the 9th over of the innings as Shivam Dube dished out a short-pitched delivery and Taylor nailed the pull to send the ball over the ropes. The security guard was least expecting the ball to hit him as he flinched after copping the blow.
Arshdeep Singh's outstanding figures restricts USA to 110 in 20 overs:
After electing to field first, Arshdeep Singh led Team India's outstanding effort with the ball, notably picking up two wickets in the opening over and finishing with figures of 4-0-9-4. As far as the hosts are concerned, Steven Taylor and Nitish Kumar were the only ones to go past 20 runs for USA. Hardik Pandya was equally magnificent, taking figures of 4-1-14-2.
Axar Patel also took a solitary scalp. A win for either of them in New York will solidify their spot in the Super 8 stage. USA has arguably been the surprise package in the 9th edition of the T20 World Cup and propelled the hosts to their biggest win in cricketing history as they overcame Pakistan in the Super over.
