One American Fan Figured Things Out
Someone check me:
The U.S. got 110 runs with 8 outs in 20 overs. The Indians are batting now and have made 33 runs with 2 outs in six overs, so they have 9 outs and 84 bowls to get at least 77 runs.
Right?

Indian Fan Explaining Details of IND vs USA Match
Means USA batted first, scored 110 and lost 8 wickets in the process. They played full 20 overs(20*6=120 deliveries)
India has to score 110 to draw or 111 to win. They currently scored 33, lost 2 wickets, played 6 overs. Rest 68 to be scored in 14 overs
Typical standard score…

Another Fan Explains the Rules
There’s no fixed typical run rate. It depends on the ground conditions and the quality of the teams playing the match.
Run rate = Number of runs scored in an over (an over consists of 6 legal deliveries each)
T20 games have 20 over per team.
ODI (One Day International)…

Another Fan Joins to Help American Fans Understand the Intricacy of Cricket
I know this game is over but want to make a correction. India needed 78 to win at that point.
77 runs would have taken their score to 110 which is equal to USA's total and game would've been a tie. (There is a tie breaker called super over)
