Congrats, Arjun and Team USA . I am proud of you and your achievements so far. No one knows your story. Keep believing and work hard. 🏏🏏🏏

One of the unsung heroes for USA all tournament long in Canada, but especially in the win over Canada on Friday, was Dallas academy star (via Rochester, Minnesota and San Antonio, Texas) Arjun Mahesh.

Mahesh took three catches yesterday and scored 12 runs in the chase, but the scorecard will never accurately show the impact he had on the team on the day and throughout the tournament. But on the match day itself, Mahesh was an absolute demon tag-teaming with Utkarsh Srivastava to save at least a dozen singles between cover and backward point. I can't remember ever seeing a USA squad at any level as fired up and ready to run through a brick wall for USA and explode onto the field as this squad was when they took the field after sitting and waiting for 5+ hours for the match to get underway, and Mahesh was the epitome of that. He was a stick of dynamite from start to finish in the field and built relentless pressure with his fielding.

After the lackluster showing 24 hours earlier against Argentina, the USA coaches all emphasized improving their body language on the field and Mahesh took that to heart arguably more than anyone. After Rishi Ramesh got out for the second wicket, Mahesh shot out of a cannon from the USA bench and sprinted to the middle before Ramesh had even reached the non-striker's stumps to walk off the field. He was beyond fired up to help get USA as far as possible in the chase and the 23-run partnership he had with Chettipalayam did its part to relieve any nerves USA may have had after losing two wickets for three runs just minutes earlier.

Throughout the week, Mahesh also demonstrated by far the most creativity in his scoring zones. He could drive, cut and pull, but nobody manipulated the depth of their crease against spinners as well as him to create better angles, especially behind square. Whether it was sweeping, shuffling across to flick through fine leg, or shuffling the other way to play switch hits and reverse sweeps, no player caused as much disruption when it came to an opposition captain trying to set a field against than Mahesh.

Congrats to Mahesh and the rest of the USA squad. I'll be posting a few more of these story nuggets over the next few days to give a bit more depth to the scenes of the day for those who weren't fortunate enough to be there in King City to witness the USA U19 squad's dramatic win over Canada on Friday to clinch a spot in the 2024 ICC Men's U19 World Cup.

Well done, boys.

Another dominant performance today sees our U19 Men run out 7 wicket winners against Bermuda.

Winning with 38.5 overs remaining has ensured our NRR remains very strong.
