Mumbai, Feb. 14 -- It's tough getting dropped after one quiet game. Perhaps even tougher batting slightly out of position upon return. Saiteja Mukkamalla, the USA batter of Indian heritage, put both those challenges aside to deliver a 51-ball 79 against the Netherlands in Chennai. The 93-run romp not only gave USA their first victory of this T20 World Cup, but also against the Dutch in men's T20Is. His father hailing from Andhra, New Jersey-born Mukkamalla had a brief training stint at VVS Laxman's academy a few years ago. Dropped for the Pakistan clash after a 7-ball 2 against India, despite scoring a fifty against New Zealand in the warm-up game, the opener was drafted back into the XI but slotted in at No.3. The demotion didn't matter for the 21-year-old as his classy knock formed the bedrock of his team's 196/6 on a good Chepauk pitch. USA's misfiring top-order had let them down in this World Cup, but their third different combo in as many games came out flying. Mukkamalla was particularly elegant hitting in the V, against pace and spin alike. He cut Klaassen for back-to-back fours, deposited left-arm spinner Roelof van der Merwe behind the sightscreen, and brought up his 30-ball half-century creaming fast bowler Kyle Klein over the cover fence. Netherlands were never really in the chase. They lost three wickets in Powerplay and in a heap after that. Spinner Harmeet Singh bagged four. Brief scores: USA 196/6 (Mukkamalla 79, Ranjane 48*, de Leede 3/37). Netherlands 103 in 15.5 ovs (Harmeet 4/21, van Schalkwyk 3/21). USA won by 93 runs....
