Pakistan-origin pacer Ali Khan’s three-wicket burst in his final two overs helped USA pipped Bangladesh by six runs in the second T20I to register a historic series win against an ICC full member nation here. High on confidence after beating Bangladesh by five wickets in the first T20 here on Tuesday, USA continued in the same vein to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Khan (3-25) played a pivotal role in USA’s victory. Asked to bat first, USA made a strong start with Steven Taylor (31 off 28) and skipper Monank Patel (42 off 38) sharing 44 runs in just over six overs. Monank later partnered with Aaron Jones (35) to add 60 runs for the third wicket, guiding USA to a total of 144 for 6.
