What Have The Two Teams Done Recently?

They have eight points from eight games on the World Cricket League 2 2024 points table which puts them in the fourth spot at the start of this competition.
USA
USA are 24-29 on the win-loss record in ODI cricket over their entire history.

They have four points from four matches and fifth on the WCL League 2 2024 points table.
Quick Namibia v USA 1st ODI Preview
Namibia have shown what they are capable of, not just in the T20Is but also the ODI format. And with a home World Cup qualification on line, they would like to make things happen in these qualifiers.
They would be one of the favourites to finish in the top four of this World Cricket League 2 as they bid to make the Qualifiers and that spark was on display when they featured in their opening series of this competition in Nepal – winning three of the four matches they played.
On the other hand, USA have shown chutzpah over the last couple of years but would that be enough to help them make it through to the next round? They won both their matches against Canada in the previous ODI tri-series but were easily beaten by Netherlands.
What that tells us is that while they are moving up the ranks, USA are still way behind the likes of Netherlands, Scotland and Ireland – some of the top Associates in the cricket world. Are they good enough to match up to Namibia though?
