The Danes showed glimpses of batting form with Saif Ahmad and Anique Uddin batting well with Saif Ahmad getting 41 and Anique Uddin 31. However, 154 was never going to be enough. An outstanding bowling and at times fielding display could have seen the Danes win if it wasn’t again for two vital dropped catches off their main batsman both before he was 30 runs. In the end Oman chased their target 7 wickets down with 3 overs left. All the spin bowlers were outstanding. USA was next. The Danes showing the longer the tourna- ment went on the better they were getting. If only more matches were played in the build up to the tournament who knows what could have been achieved. USA batted first and got 230 for 8. An outstanding bowling perfor- mance, especially from seamers Jonas Henriksen and debutant Jino Jojo on what was a very flat wicket. Den- mark’s best batting performance of the tournament so far saw them needing 17 off the last over. A task to much. However, some batters finally hitting form with Monty Singh back in the side as opener scoring an excellent 69. Wahab Hashmi 48, Saif Ahmad and Anique Uddin both getting 20’s. Unfortunately no one was able to get a big score to see the side home.
