Zimbabwe will be up against the USA in the 17th match of the ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2023. The Harare Sports Club in Harare will be hosting this exciting Group B clash on Monday (June 26).

Zimbabwe have completely outplayed all of their opponents so far, including a shocking 35-run victory against West Indies in their previous game. They currently sit comfortably on top of the Group A points table with six points and a net run rate of +0.917.

On the back of useful fifties from Sikandar Raza (68) and Ryan Burl (50), the hosts posted a competitive total of 268 runs. In reply, the bowlers had a great day in the field as they restricted West Indies to just 233 runs and secured a memorable victory. Tendai Chatara bowled an economical spell and picked up three crucial wickets for the team.

United States, on the other hand, have already been knocked out of the tournament after losing three games on the trot. The team will be looking to end their campaign with a win as they are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table with a net run rate of -0.789.

Batting first, Shayan Jahangir fought alone for his team as he played a well-composed knock of 71 runs off 86 balls with the help of five fours and two sixes as USA could only manage a below-par royal of 211/8 in 50 overs. In reply, Jessy Singh picked up two wickets, but it wasn’t enough as the Netherlands successfully chased down the target with nearly six overs to spare.
