Former Canada captain Nitish Kumar made a spectacular debut for the USA national team, scoring 64 runs off 38 balls in a match against Canada. This innings was crucial in USA’s four-wicket victory over Canada. Kumar’s innings was particularly remarkable considering the emotional aspect, as he was facing his former team, Canada, for the first time since representing them in the 2011 World Cup as a 17-year-old. Kumar’s innings helped USA recover from a precarious position of 9 for 3 and set them on course for victory.
Kumar received support from Corey Anderson, with whom he shared a 104-run partnership that proved crucial in USA’s successful chase of 169 runs. Anderson contributed 55 runs in 48 deliveries. Despite losing wickets towards the end of the innings, USA managed to secure victory with ease, thanks to contributions from Nisarg Patel and Harmeet Singh.
In response, Canada had a strong start, with Aaron Johnson providing a quick start, but they lost momentum after some quick wickets. Harsh Thaker and Dilpreet Bajwa tried to revive Canada’s innings with some aggressive batting towards the end, but it was not enough to secure a win.
