USA Sets Unique ODI Record in All-Spin Victory Over Oman

USA Sets Unique ODI Record in All-Spin Victory Over Oman

The USA posted a paltry total of 122 in Al Amerat but bowled out the hosts for 65 in a match dominated by spin. The previous record was India’s 125 against Pakistan in 1985 when they won by 38 runs in Sharjah.

It was the first ODI in 4,671 completed matches without a single delivery from a pace bowler.

The 19 wickets that fell to spin matched the ODI record set in a 2011 match between Bangladesh and Pakistan.

The other wicket was a run-out.

United States left-arm spinner Nosthush Kenjige led the bowling with 5-11 from 7.3 overs.
