Every cricket match on the pitch sees records being broken. Numerous records are created that no one could have imagined. While the Champions Trophy is currently the focus of every cricket fan’s attention, the US cricket team had already broken the Indian cricket team’s 40-year-old global record in a match before this competition.
The USA set a new record by defeating Oman by 57 runs in this ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 match played in the Al Emirates.
