NEW YORK: It was a stern workout that no one in the Indian camp would mind. Even the United States, who came up second best, can take a lot of heart from this effort as they stay close to a Super-8 berth.
India, of course, finished the job of qualifying for the next round with a seven-wicket win, but not before a scare. A target of 111 on this track is more than competitive, and when left-arm pacer Saurabh Netravalkar had Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma out cheaply, one felt that things could really get tight.
