We had a similar/ the exact same question in January 2021.

Hopefully it will be the same answer then

Hopefully it will be the same answer then

I went for the same answer as @D6130 just now and was similarly wrong!

 

[GRALISTAIR]

I seem to remember it was two outrageous countries you would not dream off. I can't think why but it could be one of the countries is actually USA and they hate cricket!

One of the countries is indeed USA.

 

[Trackman]

USA vs Canada

 

[OhNoAPacer]

USA vs Canada

It was indeed USA v Canada in 1844.

So a tiebreak question for @GRALISTAIR and @Trackman

Who won the match?

 

[GRALISTAIR]

No idea. 50/50. I will guess USA. If I win - open floor

 

[Trackman]

No idea. 50/50. I will guess USA. If I win - open floor

I'll go with Canada then.

 

[OhNoAPacer]

No idea. 50/50. I will guess USA. If I win - open floor

Unfortunately not the correct answer, Canada won by 23 runs.

So, @Trackman is now at the crease.
