Team USA-M turned in a historic performance on Tuesday against Oman — successfully defending the lowest total ever in a full 50-over ODI, thanks to spin bowling brilliance. 🏏🇺🇲

Batting first, their innings looked like a total collapse until Player of the Match Milind Kumar stepped in and with his undefeated 47 off 82, helped salvage a total of 122 all out.

Then the USA responded to Oman’s all-spin attack with one of their own.

Led by Nosh Kenjige’s @nosthush brilliant 5-wicket haul (for only 11 runs in 7.3 overs) and incredible spells from Milind Kumar @milindkumar_14 (2 for 17 in 6 overs), Yasir Mohammad @yxsirm88 (2 for 10 in 6 overs) and Harmeet Singh @iam.harmeetsingh (1 for 25 in 6 overs) — our 4-man spin attack shut down Oman. All out for 65.

An incredible performance for the ages. Go team!
