The 2016 ICC World Cricket League Division Four was an international limited-overs cricket tournament held in Los Angeles from 29 October – 5 November 2016.[1] It was the fifth edition of WCL Division Four, and the first World Cricket League tournament played in the United States. All matches were played at the Leo Magnus Cricket Complex.[2]
The tournament was won by the United States, who defeated Oman in the final by 13 runs.[3] Both the finalists were promoted to the 2017 Division Three tournament.[4] The bottom two teams, Jersey and Italy, were relegated to Division Five.[5] Jersey's Corey Bisson was the leading run-scorer, while Denmark's Aftab Ahmed and the United States' Timil Patel were the joint leading wicket-takers. Oman's Khawar Ali, an all-rounder, was named player of the tournament.[6]
After the conclusion of the tournament, the United States captain Steven Taylor said that "this victory means a lot to us, especially as it came with the home crowd behind us".[7] The United States coach Pubudu Dassanayake said "I wouldn't have settled for runner-up in the final" and that he was "very happy how things went in the final".[8]
