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.

Excellent - you were hoping for 300 (but said you'd settle for 250). O ye of little faith!

I agree, there is no way back from 143 for 6 with 19 overs remaining. That's nearly 8 an over.

I have no idea what any of that means.

Team USA plays Argentina today.

Argentina (batting first) are 70 for 5 in 22 overs.

The wicket-takers for Team USA are Imran Awan (2), Khawaja Shuja (1), Lennox Cush (1). Not sure who got the other one, it may have been a run-out. Awan was our best bowler on Monday, taking 3 Cayman Island wickets for 47 runs.

Argentina are currently on pace for 159 runs (and that is assuming they manage to bat all 50 overs without getting all out, which may not happen). Even if they make it to 200, if the big bats for Team USA (Massiah, Nadkarni) bat like they did on Monday (when they scored 300, then this one will be in the bag.

I will post more updates as they become available throughout the day. And there should be an article detailing the match via the ICC tomorrow morning.
