What. A. Match.

Batting highlights:
Saiteja Mukkamalla anchored the innings with a gritty 73 (79)
Smit Patel got things rolling with 41 (47)
Big late contributions from Sanjay Krishnamurthi (40* off 27) and Harmeet Singh (33 off 36) helped push the total to 293/8
Bowling brilliance:
Milind Kumar (1/33) and Netravalkar (1/36) bowled with discipline up top
Harmeet Singh took 2 key wickets in the middle
Jasdeep Singh struck twice to derail the chase
USA held their nerve at the death, conceding just 11 runs in the final 12 balls 🔥
Despite a dangerous 72 from Sufyan Mehmood, Oman fell just short at 284/9.
Back-to-back wins to end the series. Team USA is building something special. 🙌

USA-M @usacricket pummel Namibia in first ODI, win by 114 runs – behind all-round shows by POTM Milind, Shadley, Harmeet & Sanjay and big half centuries by Andries and Monank 🏏🇺🇲
The US batted first and put up a massive 293 in a rain shortened 43 overs. Opener Andries Gous had a crucial 76 (83) and Captain Monank Patel, batting third, put up 65 (50).
The Andries-Monank 110-run second wicket partnership ensured a defendable total early. And Saiteja Mukkamalla turned in 31 as well at 4.
From there, the all-rounders brought it home. Milind’s 54 (34) and 4-wicket haul was truly masterful. Harmeet (18 off 9), Shadley (21* off 10), and Sanjay (18 off 15) had critical late knocks to push the US total into safe territory, and took wickets as well (2, 1, 1 respectively)
