Monank Patel, Aaron Jones Lift USA To Fighting 144/6
In a do-or-die game, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to field first. USA opener Steven Taylor and captain Monank Patel started well with a 42-run powerplay before Rishad Hossain removed the former.
However, captain Monank played a captain's knock, but was knocked over by Shoriful Islam, just 8 runs short of his half-century.
Aaron Jones stood his ground to support his captain and played a steady yet important 35 runs, knocking off 34 deliveries. Harmeet Singh, the previous game's hero, was a threat that Bangladesh managed to neutralize on the duck.
Team USA fought hard against a star studded Bangladesh bowling lineup and finished with 144 runs, with Shoriful, Mustafizur Rahman and Hossain chipping two wickets each.
