Bangladesh will be playing for pride when they encounter United States in the third and final T20I match on Saturday at Prairie View Cricket Complex. This match marks the culmination of a groundbreaking series that has already witnessed enthusiastic USA secure a historic series victory, having triumphed in the first two games.

United States stunned Bangladesh by clinching series victory, a big stimulation for them ahead of the T20I World Cup 2024. In the first T20I, USA showcased a remarkable performance, chasing down Bangladesh’s total of (153) in (19.3) overs. And in the second T20I, USA dominated Bangladesh with their incredible bowling. Ali Khan played a starring role with the bowl. 

For Bangladesh, the series has been a challenging experience. Despite being favourites, they have found it difficult to adapt to the conditions and counter USA’s spirited performances. Bangladesh have struggled with consistency and execution under pressure and it is a negative sign for them ahead of the T20I World Cup.
