Having completed their four scheduled matches yesterday, they were forced to look on hoping that the USA would slip up against Canada. The Canadians completed a decisive 10 wicket victory over the USA to give the Bermudans the title.
Bermuda, coached by former West Indies international Gus Logie, and captained superbly by Irving Romaine, now proudly join the roster of Americas champions alongside Canada (2000 and 2004) and the USA (2002).
