Bermuda well beaten by tournament favourites
Param Veers Sports Complex Ground 1 (United States won toss): United States beat Bermuda by 204 runs
Bermuda endured their first loss at the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup Americas Qualifier when they went down to the United States in Rydal, Georgia, this afternoon.
Chasing 311 for victory, Bermuda could not withstand the American spin attack, as they folded for 106 in 32.2 overs. With Sabrish Prasad (four for 37), Adit Kappa (three for 34) and Sahir Bhatia (two for nine) doing most of the damage with the ball, No 6 batter Sa-Qui Robinson led the resistance with 34 off 42 balls, while Callum MacFarlane contributed 22 at the top of the order.
Powered by 102 from Amrinder Singh Gill, 70 by fellow opener Sahil Garg and Saharsh Shwethan’s 58-ball 69, the US posted what proved to be a challenging 310 for nine.
