The winning teams will be one step closer to qualifying for the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

"Cricket developed through the British Empire originally," said Richard Done, USA Cricket's Operations Director. "It’s like baseball played on a 360-degree field and instead of pitching from one man to the bases, you’re basically pitching 6 times from one end of a 22-yard pitch and then 6 times from the other. This particular game, that’ll happen 50x in each inning, so there are two innings rather than nine."
