Nosthush Kenjige's sharp spell of 3 for 37 in his 10 overs obstructed Canada in the center overs before a late flood from Unforgiving Thaker and Dillon Heyliger nearly sent shudders down a flimsy USA bowling line up. Returning from a 13-month long ODI break, USA were placed into bat in a cloudy morning in Voorburg.

He showed further class with a magnificently cut six over point with an indifferent expression of the edge. Coming on the rear of a run through on the planet cup and the MLC, Jahangir endured the underlying tempest to help his skipper with a blustery innings of 57 off 47 conveyances capably. Not at all like USA, who scored their most memorable run of the bat on the ninth chunk of the innings, Aaron Johnson ensured Canada set it all up. After a half opportunity went abegging over the slips on third wad of the innings, Johnson made USA pay for the faux pas. He trucked around Shadley Van Schalkwyk for two or three sixes to drive him out of the assault. He further went crazy over Abhishek Paradkar, as he pillaged 4 limits in an over in the innings' seventh over. Jasdeep Singh stuck Adithya Vardarajan in front to permit USA some break. However, Johnson wouldn't tighten his animosity as he sent off Jasdeep over his head for one more six off something very similar over.

Pargat and Nicholas Kirton looked foreboding, adding a run a ball 36 however Monank presented Jasdeep at the last possible second as chief Kirton neglected to control Jasdeep's guard, skying it to profound square leg. Kenjige went with the same pattern in the following over to stop Pargat's passionate innings of 42. Kenjige made further advances to have the hazardous Shreyas Movva gloving one to short fine leg in his next finished. Saad Canister Zafar's concise stay at the wrinkle had Canada reeling at 140 for 6 in the 28th over. Thaker and Heyliger were passed on to push the water uphill after Kenjige and company drained the existence out of Canada's pursuit with wickets at ordinary spans. The team merged for the following eight overs without an encounter. Heyliger wouldn't toss in the white towel at this time, as he penetrated Kenjige to the sight screen in the 36th over. Shadley endured the worst part of the Canadian batsmen by and by as Thaker broke his shackles to take him downtown, before Heyliger snuck in two additional limits to make the 42nd over cost 17 runs. Thaker took a specific loving towards the USA pace bowlers as he pounded Jasdeep off continuous limits off the following over. The pair put in a fearless front however with 40 required of 18, Heyliger miscued one off Shadley towards long off's throat which had the wheels fallen off Canada's pursuit.
