(Web Desk) The United States broke India’s 40-year-old record for the lowest successfully defended total in a full men’s 50-over match.
In the first ODI without a single ball of pace, the US beat Oman by 57 runs on Tuesday. They posted a paltry total of 122 in Al Amerat but bowled out the hosts for 65 in a match dominated by spin. The previous record was India s 125 against Pakistan in 1985, when they won by 38 runs in Sharjah.
It was the first ODI in 4,671 completed matches without a single delivery from a pace bowler.
The 19 wickets that fell to spin matched the ODI record set in a 2011 match between Bangladesh and Pakistan.
The other wicket was a run out.
United States left-arm spinner Nosthush Kenjige led the bowling with 5-11 from 7.3 overs.
