The first game of the tri-series saw the hosts USA registering a 5-run win over Papua New Guinea in Lauderhill, Florida. They will now face Namibia in the second one-dayer which will be played at this very venue.
The USA were good with the bat in the last game scoring 251, and then restricting PNG to 159 runs 6 short of the revised target of 165 runs which was imposed on them due to persistent rains in the second innings.
Namibia, on the other hand, have been pipped as one of the favorites in this competition especially after the show they put up in this tournament earlier this year.

USA vs NAM

Lauderhill has always offered a great assistant to batsmen as they find it really easy to score runs here. Turn is something which is always eluded here but the pacers can make their presence felt in overcast conditions especially with the new ball.
