Pre-Match Analysis:

Though West Indies had the last laugh against USA in their 1st game, it’s a wake-up call for them not to take anything for granted. They failed to bowl USA out despite restricting them to 7 for 182 and somehow to manage to win the game by 39 runs. After an early collapse, Johnson Charles and skipper Shai Hope steadied the ship with 115 run-stand for the 3rd wicket with both of them scoring half-centuries. Former skipper Jason Holder and Roston Chase too chipped in with half-centuries as a result Men in Maroon came close to a 300-run mark. Kyle Mayers and Alzarri Joseph picked up 2 wickets apiece in the latter half that handed them a comprehensive win. They bat deep which is their biggest strength and need to capitalize on that.

Cricketing minnows, Nepal who got the beating from hosts Zimbabwe in their 1st game bounced back to thrash USA in their following game by 6 wickets. The bowlers dominated the show initially with KC Karan and Gulshan Jha picking up 7 wickets between them that helped to restrict USA for marginal 207 runs. Bhim Sarki who bagged a duck against Zimbabwe got into the act and guided them to a facile win with an unbeaten 77* runs. With this win their confidence has doubled and are ready to tackle the tournament favorites West Indies.
