Full commentary
So the USA win this high scoring game by 46 runs. They will be happy to record their first victory of this tournament.
Lotter and Erasmus both scored classy fifty's but it was never going to be enough. They just lost too many wickets to early, especially when they had such a big target to chase.
The pick of the bowlers was Ahmad who ended up with 4 wickets for 60.
Man of the match for todays game was Steven Taylor for his excellent century.
So that just leaves me, Justin Smyth to thank you for following my commentary today from a wet North County ground here in Dublin.
Dont forget there is more qualifying games tomorrow. Good night!
