USA batted first after winning the toss and their captain Steven Taylor again played a loose shot to follow a couple of boundaries and was caught at short extra cover.
Only Armarnauth Persaud and Vibhav Altekar passed 20 in another poor batting performance by USA, the innings closing on 112 all out with one ball to spare. Four different bowlers all got 2 wickets, each in a good all round bowling performance.
