USA 202 for 1 in 39 overs. Nadkarni 86 not out and Steve Massiah 77 not out.
They have really picked up the pace. Only one out, so they should really be able to play some high risk, high reward shots in the last 5-10 overs. They have a shot at 300 but should get to 250.
A very good batting performance by our team in their first match. Add to today's performance those matches against the West Indies (both of them decent performances against a much better side) in New York City, and things appear to be looking up for Team USA.
USA: 300 for 2 in 50 overs
Massiah 136 not out
Nadkarni 111
In reply, Cayman Islands 143 for 6 in 31 overs when last reports came in.
I do not have any information on where Cayman Islands ended up, but if they were 143 for 6 after 31 overs, then it is extremely likely that Team USA has won the first match of this tournament.
Their remaining schedule:
Aug. 23 USA vs ARGENTINA at Toronto, ON - G. Ross Lord Park
Aug. 25 BERMUDA vs USA at King City, ON - Maple Leaf C.C.
Aug. 26 CANADA vs USA at King City, ON - Maple Leaf C.C.
Argentina should be a winnable match. Bermuda will likely be the toughest opponent of the whole tournament. The match against Canada will be very interesting.
