USA's Thrilling Victory Keeps T20 World Cup Hopes Alive

The United States boosts their T20 World Cup campaign with two consecutive wins, defeating Namibia by 31 runs. With captain Monank Patel and Sanjay Krishnamurthi leading the batting, the U.S. hopes for a top-two finish in the group, advancing to the Super 8 stage.

The United States' T20 World Cup ambitions remain alive after two back-to-back victories, including a 31-run triumph over Namibia. The team concluded their Group A matches in strong fashion, spearheaded by captain Monank Patel and dynamic opener Sanjay Krishnamurthi.

Patel's brisk 52 set the pace, forging a formidable fourth-wicket stand with Krishnamurthi, who smashed an unbeaten 68 with six maximums and four boundaries. Their efforts culminated in a commanding total of 199-4, their best of the tournament.

Namibia started brightly with Louren Steenkamp's 58, cruising to 97-1. However, once Steenkamp was dismissed, they faltered to 168-6. The U.S., having previously lost to India and Pakistan, now hope their positive net run rate secures them a place in the next round.
