The matches of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup League 2 are going on, where on September 16, an ODI match was played between USA and Namibia. This match between the two teams was interesting because on one side there was a batsman who set a record by hitting 43 sixes. On the other hand, the cricketer who ran a restaurant dashed the team's hopes of winning. We are talking about Namibia's batsman JJ Smit and USA's captain Monak Patel. In the match, USA defeated Namibia by 6 wickets.

Namibia batted first in the match and scored 199 runs for 9 wickets in 50 overs. Jan Frylink scored the highest 70 runs for Namibia. The most special thing about USA's bowling was that all its bowlers took wickets. USA captain Monak Patel tried 6 bowlers and all of them gave him wickets.
