This is the second time (after Herschelle Gibbs) when a batsman smashed six sixes in a 50-over match.

South African batsman Herschelle Gibbs achieved the feat against the Netherlands in the 2007 World Cup while Yuvraj and Pollard had achieved the feat in T20I cricket.

Malhotra's smash-fest helped the USA post 271 runs on board. Jaskaran scored an unbeaten 173 runs. In reply, Papua New Guinea were bundled out for 137 within 38 overs.
