The scoreboard for India's run-chase versus the USA indicated 35 runs off 30 balls needed prior to the start of the 16th over. Things were becoming a little tight. However, the umpires were seen speaking, first with USA captain Aaron Jones and then among themselves. And following the conversation, former Australian pacer Paul Reiffel gestured with his right arm, touching his left shoulder. India was given FIVE penalty runs, which changed the equation to 30 runs off 30 balls.
