Good evening from south Florida. Peter Della Penna here at the CBRP stadium where USA are warming up in the field prior to their match against Canada. Bermuda destroyed Cayman Islands in the match that was just completed while Suriname defeated Argentina earlier in the day. USA and Canada enter this match both at 3-0.

 Canada has won the toss and elected to bat first.

Canada XI: Hansra (captain), Tariq (wk), Wadia, Limbada, Hussain, Bastiampillai, Siddiqui, Broadhurst, Dhindsa, Sandher, Snow. 

Deepak Pabla, Cecil Pervez and Parveen Saroye are the three sitting out for Canada. 

USA: Massiah (captain), Dodson (wk), Nadkarni, Roopnarine, Allen, Mishra, Baker, George, Shuja, Patel, Ghous. 

Japen Patel will make his international debut as Quasen Alfred makes way after starting the first three games for USA. Samarth Shah and Adrian Gordon remain on the bench. 

USA assistant coach (and former head coach) Clayton Lambert was not on the field during warmups. According to a source, he went home yesterday. It's not known why he went home. New York Region board member and USACA Cricket Committee chairman Krish Prasad is here today as is USACA President Gladstone Dainty.

 With Bermuda's win over Cayman Islands earlier, both Bermuda and USA have clinched the two berths from the Americas for the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier next year in the UAE. But this game and tomorrow's match between USA and Bermuda will be important from a seeding standpoint.

 How has the crowed been at this event?

 USA has taken the field in their blue uniforms with red trim and white numbers and letters. The USA players are wearing whatever hat they can find. Canad's openers are finally making their way out. Khushroo Wadia and Jason Sandher with Sandher on strike, right handed. Usman Shuja to open from the Pavilion End, right arm fast medium. Dot, good length ball on off stump, guided to point. FOUR! Short outside off, slashed high in the air toward Ghous at the third man boundary, he puts forward a pathetic effort and the ball drops in front of him before bouncing past him for four. Should have been at least a catching opportunity but he never got a hand to the ball. It's 5:30 pm and he's still sleeping. Dot. Dot, full outside off and driven to cover. Dot, short of a length and defended to cover. Two, full outside off and driven firmly through the covers. Canada 6/0 in 1.
