Despite their impressive show, the co-hosts were slapped 5 penalty runs.

The USA had to face the penalty because of the new stop-clock regulations that were introduced in the competition.

The USA has become the first team to be penalised.

It happened because the USA were not ready to bowl the next over 60 seconds after completing their previous one.

The umpires had warned USA captain Aaron Jones twice for violating the stop-clock rule.

Following the third instance, the umpire imposed the 5 penalty runs.

At the start of the 16th over, India needed 35 runs to win.

But following the penalty, the equation changed to 30 runs off 30 balls.
