Bermuda Won by 6 Wickets
Mexico 96/9 Bermuda 0/0
Bermuda continued their impressive run in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Sub Regional Americas Qualifiers, securing a comfortable 6-wicket victory over Mexico at the Hurlingham Club Ground.
Mexico won the toss and chose to bat, but they struggled to build a substantial total against a disciplined Bermuda bowling attack and some sharp fielding. Two run outs and several spectacular diving catches hampered their progress, and they were eventually restricted to 96/9 in their 20 overs. Pradeep Mohanarangam top-scored with 26. Kevon Fubler, maintaining his remarkable streak, claimed a wicket with the first ball of his opening over for the third consecutive match, finishing with figures of 2 for 10.
Despite a shaky start that saw them lose two wickets in the first over, Bermuda recovered swiftly and chased down the target with ease. Man of the Match Onias Bascome led the charge with a blistering knock of 37 off just 20 balls, including 6 fours and a six. Bermuda reached 97/4 in 12.3 overs, securing their third victory of the tournament. Yashvanth Jasti was the most successful bowler for Mexico, taking 2 for 19.
Bermuda remain undefeated in the tournament, having won three matches and seen another abandoned due to rain. Their strong performances with both bat and ball have established them as one of the teams to beat in the qualifiers. They will be looking to continue their winning streak as they aim to secure a place in the next stage of the T20 World Cup.
