In the ultimate USA versus UK showdown, the England team had a 'ball' with the ball in hand. In Bridgetown, on Sunday, the Aaron Jones-led side struggled to score runs as the wily Adil Rashid tore apart the American batting lineup.
After the US had a quick start in the powerplay, Rashid webbed a perfect ploy against the emerging side, leaking just 13 runs in his four-over spell and getting rid captain Aaron Jones and Nitish Kumar.
The former Canadian skipper, who hails from India, is a compact batter who plays spin really well, but it was unplayable against the class of Rashid on a spin-favouring track of the Kennington Oval.
The English leggie pitched a perfect good length delivery outside the off-stump line, on which Nitish prodded forward for an expansive slog, but the ball spun sharply to fizz past the gap between the bat and the front pad.

As Rashid got rid of the number 3 and 4 batters, he was well-supported by Chris Jordan and Sam Curran - as the latter scalped a hattrick during a legendary four-wicket over.
Eventually, US got wrapped inside 19 overs on the score of 115 runs. Now, the English have to chase down the total in 18.4 overs or less to qualify for the semifinal of the T20 World Cup 2024.
