Shadley van Schalkwyk shines with the ball - It was a tough outing for the USA bowlers, who struggled to find their line and length for most of the innings. The standout performer was undoubtedly Shadley van Schalkwyk, who claimed four vital wickets while managing to keep the run rate in check. Mohammad Mohsin also chipped in with a tidy spell and a wicket, but the rest of the attack proved expensive.
