2:46 PM: OUT!  Trott, the danger man, gone for 39 (4 fours, 2 sixes).  Caught Ahmad off spinner Yash Shah.   Score now 66 for 1.  Fray on 14.  Trott was doing all the hitting.  12 overs gone.

 

2:55 PM: Shah gets his 2nd wicket.  77 for 2 after 14 overs.  Fray 15.  Smith gone for 9. 

Shah gets a maiden (over number 18).  Ghous helps himself to a maiden (over 19).  Bermuda begin exercising their feet again from over 20 to 23 getting 10 runs in those 3 overs.

At end of 23rd over, Bermuda are 96 for 2.  Ghous 7-1-15-0.   Yash Shah 10-1-41-2.  Spinners have been brilliant but need to tighten the noose a bit more to make things more interesting.

Bermuda are 99-2 after scoring 3 runs in 24th over.  Fray on 30.  Douglas 6.  Shah 10-1-41-2.  Shah brought USA back into the game by taking Trott out.  His mates need to get Fray now.

3:10 PM: Shah gets a maiden (over number 18).  Ghous helps himself to a maiden (over 19).  Bermuda begin exercising their feet again from over 20 to 23 getting 10 runs in those 3 overs.

At end of 23rd over, Bermuda are 96 for 2.  Ghous 7-1-15-0.   Yash Shah 10-1-41-2.  Spinners have been brilliant but need to tighten the noose a bit more to make things more interesting.

3:25PM: Bermuda are 99-2 after scoring 3 runs in 24th over.  Fray on 30.  Douglas 6.  Shah 10-1-41-2.  Shah brought USA back into the game by taking Trott out.  His mates need to get Fray now to get a real breakthrough.

3:32PM: Bermuda 117 for 2 in 28 overs.  Fray 30, Douglas 23.  Douglas gets some quick runs.  Corns 2-0-7-0.   On the other end, we have Ghous with 9-1-25-0.

3:36PM: 119-2.  Fray 31.  Douglas 24.  Ghous completes his 10 overs.  10-1-27-0.

This is getting too tight for comfort. However, what happened to US is likely what will happen to Bermuda. They have to score quaick with run rate apporaching 6 an over and will likely lose lot wickets towards the end. Who will hold the nerve will determine the result.

3:45 PM:  Bermuda 127-2 in 31 overs.  Fray 36. Douglas 27.  Corns 3-1-12-0.  Azurdeen 1-0-3-0.  Hopefully Corns and Aza will get USA a breakthrough.

 5.4 an over needed - we need a couple of wickets

Naseer Jamali will be the key. He bowls very well with an older ball

Robinu: You should become DreamCricket's expert analyst.  Or go buy a lottery.  You are 100% on the mark.

Corns gets the breakthrough in his 4th over.  Douglas gone for 27.  Fray still there with 36.

 

 Go Ryan!!! Go USA!

 

Back to back MOM for Ryan "PUP" Cornes?

After 32 overs, Bermuda 128 for 4.  AND OUT!  Make that two.  Azurdeen gets two wickets.  Fray out LBW for 37.  Then Leverock (wait a minute Leverock ring a bell?) also LBW for 0.    That brings them to 130-5. 

Brilliant Aza 2-0-5-2.   His cousins are in Canada to watch him and his mom went up there today.  And they must all be so proud.

My favorite player was Azha.....that was then.  Now I have another Aza to root for.

 

 WOOT!

131-5 after 33 overs.  Darrell 1, Maybury 0.  Corns bowls a tight over. 5-0-14-1.  Aza 2-0-5-2.  Spinners making a killing here. 

Then Aza comes in for his 3rd over.  BOOM.   Maybury GONE.  Aza 3-0-6-3.  133 for 6.  Bermuda digging a hole in Toronto.
