USA VS BAN - 2nd T20I, Bangladesh tour of USA, 2024

That's all from the coverage of this game folks. We shall be back on Saturday (May 25th) for the live coverage of the third T20I. Do join us. For now, it's goodbye. See you later!

Monank Patel: We thought we were 10 runs short, but we played with a fighting attitude, really proud of the boys. The way the bowlers bowled in the powerplay and in the last 5 overs, they used the conditions well and took wickets. Leading into the World Cup winning will give us confidence.

Najmul Shanto: Very disappointing for us. We lost wickets in the middle overs, that was the reason why we lost. We didn't play well, but we have an opportunity to come up with a good plan in the next match. We should change our mindset, it's not about our skills.

Ali Khan, PoTM: I think it was a low scoring game, the wicket slowed down in the second innings. Credit goes to the bowlers, kept taking wickets. Put the pressure back on Bangladesh. Was a good 19th over by Netravalkar, that helped me in the last over. My goal was to back myself and try to get the wicket. That four put the pressure back on me, but I got back to my strengths. The tail enders expect yorkers, so tried to go short.

13:32 Local Time, 18:32 GMT, 00:02 IST: A disappointing batting performance by Bangladesh as they have lost two matches on the bounce against USA. It was a decent effort by their bowlers to restrict USA below the 150-run mark, but their batters haven't done justice. Shanto and Shakib played useful knocks, however, the experienced duo couldn't convert those knocks into substantial scores. The USA bowlers kept striking at regular intervals and Ali Khan finished things off with his 3-wicket spell towards the end. Bangladesh fans will be utterly disappointed with their team's performance, especially before the T20 World Cup. Will they end the series with a win in the third T20I and enter the World Cup on a positive note? We shall find out on Saturday. Stay tuned for the post match presentations..
