USA won the toss and elected to field! That is utter foolishness. Only a team that has a very strong batting line-up could take such a decision. What made Staple feel he could chase a Kiwi total?

Zimbabwe too seem to have lost their mind. If Aus,NZ,Srl,Eng or even Win elect to chase it would be fine.

But USA,Zim,Ken and Ban have only one way to win. Elect to bat and put a average(220-230) total and then use your meagre bowling resources to take some early wickets. Maintain the pressure and keep taking wickets at regular intervals. Even this way they have only a 50:50 chance but otherwise I say 0.0001:99.999

I think the vast majority of teams will elect to bowl first in this competition if they win the toss due to the conditions with the early starts over here in England. Cool, plenty of dew on the outfield, not easy to bat early on and teams will be hoping to make the most of the early morning swing and seam first.
This was almost (almost) proved right with the USA taking a couple of early wickets against NZ, before the Kiwis undoubted superiority shone through. As you say Ajit, the USA didn't have the strength in depth to capitalize on their early breakthroughs.
