Monank Patel and Ali Khan lead USA to victory over Bangladesh

The USA cricket team pulled off a stunning victory against Bangladesh in the second T20I match, securing the series win ahead of the Men’s T20 World Cup. Led by captain Monank Patel, the USA team posted a competitive total of 144-6, with Patel himself scoring 42 runs. Ali Khan also played a crucial role, taking three wickets in the death overs to tilt the game in the host’s favor.

Despite valiant efforts from Bangladesh’s Najmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan, who scored 36 and 30 runs respectively, the team fell short by six runs as they were bowled out for 138. The USA’s strong performance has raised hopes for a successful campaign at the upcoming World Cup, which they will co-host with West Indies.
