Narrative:

After arriving at the gate; I left the number 2 engine running after leaving the aircraft. The first officer and I read the shutdown checklist and it called for thrust levers idle; [but] I did not confirm that the engine was actually shut down. I found out that it was left running from the next flight crew taking over the aircraft about 20 minutes after I had left the aircraft.I think that this happened due to being fatigued. We had worked 8.78 hrs of flight time and 13 hrs on duty yesterday followed by a minimum rest. On the approach; I had made a few minor errors that the first officer caught while going over the descent and approach checklist; one of them being fasten seatbelt sign. I felt fine leaving [the departure airport] being fully alert and about half way through the flight I could feel the fatigue setting in. Either way this could have been prevented by checking that the engine is actually off when the shutdown checklist is accomplished.
