united states of america Won at 169/6 (Nitish 64, Anderson 55, Taker 2-20) Canada 168 for 5 (Taker 38, Van Schalkwik 2-42) 4 wickets
Even after Anderson was dismissed by off-spinning all-rounder Harsh Taker, Nitish continued playing. Nitish and Shadri van Schalkwyk were dismissed between four balls, but Harmeet Singh and Nisark Patel sealed the win in the final over without any fuss.
All of Canada’s batters except opening pitcher Srimantha Wijeiratne started and scored 15 or more points, but none of them scored big. Three players reached the 30-run mark with Taker, who also picked two wickets, being the top scorer with three 36s in a 24-ball 38.
Canada continued to forge nifty partnerships and didn’t let the United States get any wickets in clusters. With her unbeaten 39 runs for six wickets, Canada went into the innings break with momentum.
And that momentum carried over into the American innings, with Rishiv Joshi trapping Andries Guus’ second LBW ball. Canada captain Saad Bin Zafar got opposite number Aaron Jones, the highest run-scorer of the series, to stuff the first ball of the second over and caught Gajanand Singh behind the next ball for a hat-trick. Achieved. Canada is in a strong position.
But in the end, as was the case throughout the series, America was once again too good for Canada.
