While, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Usa-c759 exhibited supreme play, their opponents Oman yet again continued their losing streak, and left their supporters in disgust.

After the early demise of the first wicket, opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vaibhav-Shridhar-Wategaonkar-c94848 took charge and prevented USA from making any further inroads and it was finally after the side had bolstered 54 runs on the board that the partnership
