It won five out of six matches to top the four-team qualifiers with 10 points, the same as Canada, but topped the standings on better net run-rate (4.84). It defeated Bermuda to begin its qualifying journey, but a loss to Canada added some intrigue.
But the USA bounced back with another win against Bermuda and went on to defeat Argentina twice, including a score of 515 in one game. In the crucial final match against Canada, rain led it to a 22-over-a-side contest. The USA restricted its opponent to 92/9 before sealing the chase to make the cut.
Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, Ireland, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zimbabwe have automatically qualified as the best-placed Full Member nations from the 2022 edition.
New Zealand, Nepal, Namibia and Scotland from other qualifiers complete the line-up.
