Steven Taylor became the first T20I centurion for USA Enroute his marathon effort of 101* off 55 balls laden with 5 sixes and 12 fours. The USA broke little sweat in surmounting Jersey's challenge of 155 on a batting-conducive wicket after Asa Tribe's sensational counter-attacking 73* gave Jersey a momentary sniff to come back in the game. USA cantered home with 11 balls to spare, spiking their NRR which may well dictate the playoff spots in this T20 World Cup Qualifier

Feisty Taylor takes center stage

Taylor feasted on the left-arm spin of Elliot Miles after Jersey curiously introduced him to the new ball. He oozed class from the moment he struck his first boundary, elegantly lofting over mid-off's head, following it up with a straight six off the next ball. Monk Patel tried to play second fiddle as Taylor showed signs of his murderous best, wrapping up the powerplay with another six off Carlyon, belting it over long leg.
