Dear USA Cricket,
Thank you for your great performances and setting an example why international cricket tournaments should have more teams worldwide. If associates perform like this, in the future more teams will be increased in World Cups. Increasing it to 20 in this T20 World Cup is just the start.
I love the way they played in the last 4-5 overs in both the matches. Needed to chase 50 off 20, managed to achieve that. Next match, needed defend 21 off 19 even when other team lost 5 wickets, did that too! I like the confidence and courage their players showed in those pressure situation.
Clearly played better cricket among the two teams, hence they deserved the win. In the first match, I felt they were quite sloppy on the field and also bowling a lot of extras, but they made it up somehow. Fielded and bowled way better in the next one. Their batting intent is also interesting.
Also some USA players are part-timers. Usually this is how it is in most associate teams. I was lucky to get the chance to learn cricket from associate team players 2 years ago, and the way they balance between their full time job and cricket (without even being paid) is indeed commendable. They play cricket as they enjoy it from their heart and always ensure they present themselves on the field with confidence no matter who the opponent is.
As a cricket fan(forgetting who I am supporting) is good to see when teams like USA manage to get such win. It sets really good examples.
