Team United States have a well-balanced squad and put a unison effort in first ODI to defeat Papua New Guinea by 5 runs in a rain-curtailed encounter. Batting first, Aaron Jones starred with the bat for hosts scoring 77 runs and was supported by Monank Patel and Karima Gore. Along with them, Elmore Hutchinson played attacking late cameo of 42 runs in just 21 balls to take the team to a total of 251. In Defending the target, Karima Gore was right on the money taking three wicket-haul while Rusty Theron and Nisarg Patel took one scalp each to restrict PNG on 159/6 in 23 overs. The USA will be eager to put another dominant show and defeat Namibia.
Team Namibia enter as underdogs in the tournament and have a reputation for upsetting other teams. They recently made a memorable debut in ODI defeating Oman by a significant margin. They have also found immense success in shorter format winning all seven T20I’s they have played till now. The onus will be on Stephan Baard, JP Kotze and Karl Birkenstock to lead the batting department along with the support of all-rounders Gerhard Erasmus, Christi Viljoen, JJ Smit, and Craig Williams. They will be eager to give a tough challenge to hosts and get some early momentum going ahead in the tournament.
