On Thursday, Argentina will play the Bahamas in the eighth encounter of the ICC T20 WC Americas Qualification. Argentina is taking modest steps in cricket and will require a big turnaround to qualify for the World Cups after losing back-to-back matches in this league. In their two outings, the Bahamas have won one and lost one. The outfield is rather difficult, and there is much room for sprinting between the wickets. On these sluggish surfaces, slow bowlers are usually useful. Batting first appears to be the best choice here.
Argentina struggled with the bat in their past two matches, losing by 53 and 110 runs to Panama and Bermuda, respectively. Just Alejandro Ferguson showed resistance, scoring 32 and 25. Hernan Fennell, the captain, demonstrated his skill with the ball, taking four scalps. They are the only team yet to win a game in this competition, and they must win their remaining two games to advance to the next round. They have no points and are at the bottom of the standings.

The Bahamas, who defeated Panama by four wickets in their first game, were defeated by the Cayman Islands by 31 runs in their second game. They bowled out the opponents for 125 runs, but their lack of application with the bat lost them the game, as they were held for 94 runs at the conclusion of 20 overs. Kervon Hinds shone with the ball, taking 5 wickets. Marc Taylor led the team in scoring with 35 runs despite receiving little help from the other end. They have an excellent opportunity of making a comeback against a faltering Argentina.
