So I am watching the US v Namibia in the T20 cricket World Cup

They are both minnows but the US is murdering them with runs.
A Namibian bowler just finished his spell with pathetic figures of 0/42.
His name Trumpelmann😂😀😂
US should win this but neither team will make the Super 8s

days after their first match , you are clearly not alone.😀
US won and actually has an unlikely chance of making the Super8 - depending on run rate.

The team is full of American born guys whose immigrant parents are mostly from India.

Still, as an inveterate baseball fan, cricket is an elegant game and ferociously competitive sport.

So the winner of this round will probably lose in the next?

India and Pakistan to qualify from this group.

One of those two will join South Africa and West Indies with three wins from three games. Long way to the final.
