ICC U-19 World Cup - - USA Gone Thorugh Second Consecutive Defeat in The Hands of South Africa


The USA continued to feel the heat in the ICC U19 World Cup, going down to South Africa by eight wickets.

The Americans, who were blown away by Australia in their opener, were brushed away by the Proteas in less than two days’ time.

Put into bat, USA never found the going easy with Graham Hume spewing fire in his opening spell.

Gregory Sewdial wanted to make some difference in the American total and dug deep to muster 41 and with Azurdeen Mohammed (19) and wicketkeeper batsman Saami Siddiqui (19 NO) saw the team to some semblance of respectability.

Dale Deeb was the pick of the bowlers for South Africa, snapping up three for 23 in his 10 overs as USA managed 163 in 49.5 overs

The Proteas in reply, cruised along to an eight wicket win with 14.5 overs to spare.

Opener Dominic Hendricks and Colin Ackermann cracked fluent half centuries despite USA’s valiant efforts with the ball, during which they prized out Josh Richards and Stephan Smith, reducing the South Africans to 38 for two at one point.
