Delray Rawlins stars for Bermuda as they reach ICC T20 World Cup Global Qualifier

Bermuda have secured their spot at the ICC T20 World Cup Global Qualifier later this year after Delray Rawlins took figures of 2-22 against the USA on Thursday. 

Having opted to field first, Bermuda bowled well and Rawlins dismissed Aaron Jones and Hayden Walsh during his four overs as the USA finished their 20 overs on 141-9.

Rawlins then hit 12 off 11 balls, before Man of the Match, Duente Darrell smashed 30 off 23 balls to secure a fantastic four-wicket victory with seven balls remaining. 

A day earlier, Rawlins helped Bermuda to their second win of the tournament against Cayman Islands. After bowling four overs for 25 runs as Cayman Islands struggled to 116 for 9 from their 20 overs, he then top scored for Bermuda with a blistering 49 off 31 balls as the side cruised to a six-wicket victory in the 16th over.

Rawlins was also named Man of the Match in Bermuda's opening match against USA for his 63 from 53 balls.

Attention will now turn to the ICC T20 World Cup Global Qualifier in United Arab Emirates in October and November to determine which teams will qualify for the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup tournament in Australia.
