Bermuda 149/4 Brazil 0/0
Bermuda continued their dominant run in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Sub Regional Americas Qualifiers, securing a comprehensive 87-run victory over Brazil at the St George's College Ground in Argentina.
Having entered the match with an unbeaten record of three wins and a no-result, Bermuda faced a Brazil side with one win and two losses. Brazil won the toss and elected to field, putting Bermuda's batting prowess to the test.
Tre Manders anchored the Bermuda innings with a composed knock of 52, his 45-ball stay at the crease featuring 5 fours and 2 sixes. He shared a crucial 71-run partnership with Alex Dore II, who contributed a valuable 30 before being run out. Luri Simao was the pick of the Brazilian bowlers, finishing with figures of 2 for 24.
Despite a competitive total from Bermuda, Brazil's batting lineup crumbled under pressure. They were bowled out for a paltry 62, with Luiz Muller top-scoring with 16. Dominic Sabir was the destroyer-in-chief for Bermuda, claiming 3 wickets for 16 runs from his 3 overs to earn Man of the Match honours.
"It was another excellent performance," said Bermuda captain Terryn Fray. "Tre batted superbly to set us up, and then our bowlers were outstanding. Dominic was exceptional, and it was a real team effort."
This victory sees Bermuda climb to the top of the table, maintaining their undefeated record in the tournament. Their dominant display with both bat and ball has underlined their status as one of the favourites to progress to the next stage of the T20 World Cup qualifiers.
