Skipper Dilly Khilawan won the toss and asked the opposition to take first strike in Brentwood, New York.  Trevor Henry supported Khilawan’s decision handsomely when he sent back both openers early. Andre Kirton struck to remove the number four batsman to expose the ESW middle order. Sabeeh Rafique (23) and Umair Tahir (18) started a repair job and threatened to post a wholesome partnership for the 4th wicket. Carmichael had different plans, when he knocked over Rafique. Vijendra Singh followed suit and knocked over Tahir.
