KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, CMC – Former West Indies pacer Jermaine Lawson went wicket-less as United States crashed to a five-wicket loss to hosts Malaysia, in their second game of the International Cricket Council World Cricket League Division Three 50-overs tournament here yesterday.
The right-armer, who played 13 Tests for West Indies, sent down eight overs for 44 runs and watched as Malaysia chased down their target of 187 at the Bayumas Oval.
Shafiq Sharif stroked 59 not out and Suharril Fetri, 55, to lead the successful run chase while off-spinner Karan Ganesh took two for 26.
Sent in, the US were languishing at 124 for seven in the 44th over before Adil Bhatti, batting at number eight, arrived to play a blinder, smashing a top score of 42 from just 21 balls.
