USA defeats Tanzania by 10 wickets

USA winning the toss took the advantage of the slightly wet astro turf wickets and put Tanzania to bat first. The Tanzanian batting line up struggled and failed to adapt to the astro turf wicket giving awaytheir first 7 wickets very cheaply to the USA bowlers when the score was only 63/8 in 27overs. Aggressive batting by diminutive number 8 batman Kassim Nassoro in partnership with Riziki Kiseto number 9 batsman took the Tanzanian score to 128 when they were finally all out in the 39th over with kassim Nassoro on 49 not out..

Chasing the Tanzania’s low score, the USA opening batsmen Nadkarni 68  and Baker 63 were off to a flier from the first over on a well dried up wicket  to hammer the Tanzanian bowlers all over the park to win the match in the 13th over with  the loss no wickets.
