Pre-Match Analysis:
The United States of America have taken their game one step up having won the series against full member Bangladesh 2-0 with one game still to be played. With absolute brilliance from Corey Anderson and Harmeet Singh, they ace the chase to perfection in the series opener and won by 5 wickets. In the 2nd T20I, it was the bowlers who pulled off something spectacular and defended the modest 144 to claim a 6-run win and also the series. Ali Khan produced a magical spell at the death and returned with the match figures of 3 for 25 to be adjudged the Player of the Match. Earlier Steven Taylor (31), Monank Patel (42), and Aaron Jones (35) made key contributions to set up a tricky target. With the series already in their bank, they are focusing now on a 3-0 clean sweep.
Bangladesh are in the middle of a horror run and everything going against them as they lost the series to the USA who are still taking baby steps at the highest level. Bowlers have been in fine nick however the batting is not even close to the average standards. Poor execution of shots and pathetic running between the wickets are the factors that led to their downfall on this tour. Towhid Hridoy is the only player who has scored more than 80 runs but others haven’t crossed the 50-run mark. Coming to their bowling unit Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, and Shoriful Islam have shared the wickets so far. They don’t wish to head into the T20 World Cup with a whitewash and are hopeful of winding up the series with a win that will bring the margin down to 2-1.
