USA Crashes Out Despite 18 Runs win Over Hong Kong

Victory over Papua New Guinea on Sunday (July 19) would have helped United States of America qualify for the next phase of the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier 2015 had Hong Kong lost its last league match of the competition to Namibia.
But as it turned out, despite an 18-run win at Malahide in Dublin, USA crashed out of the tournament as Hong Kong completed a comprehensive 83-run rout of Namibia over at the neighbouring Clontarf Cricket Club Ground.The win could take USA only to fifth in the Group A table with six points - one less than PNG, Namibia and Hong Kong, all of whom, along with Ireland (8 points), are through to the next stage of the tournament.
