In the fifth and final over, Dilon Heyliger should have had Nitish Kumar out on 10 after he flicked the ball straight to Harsh Thaker at deep square leg, but the simple catch was dropped.
Canada could also have had Kumar run out on 22 (15). Corey Anderson edged a delivery from Saad Bin Zafar to Uday Bhagwan at short fine leg and Kumar raced down the pitch thinking it was a single.
With Anderson uninterested, Bhagwan collected the ball with Kumar three-quarters of the way down the pitch, but unfortunately threw the ball well over Bin Zafar's head at the bowler's end and the chance was gone. At that stage, the USA needed 108 from 70 deliveries to win and Kumar added 42 runs from 23 deliveries.
There were some costly mistakes in the second match of the series and T20 is a format where every run can make a difference. If you look at the teams that spring surprises in big tournaments, it's usually because they keep their self-inflicted wounds to a minimum. The Netherlands have been a prime example in recent years and Canada could learn a thing or two from them.
