Co-hosts, the Windies, have kept alive their hopes of reaching the semi-finals of the ICC Mens T20 World Cup played in the Caribbean and the United States.
They recorded their first win in the Super 8 stage of the tournament, beating the USA by nine wickets in Bridgetown, Barbados.
The Americans who were put in to bat, were bowled out for 128.
South-African-born Andries Gous again top scored, but his 29 off 16 balls was not nearly enough.
The Windies chased down the victory target inside 11 overs. Opening batter Shai Hope finished unbeaten on 82 off 39 balls.
