Najmul Hossain Shanto

Bangladesh defeated the USA by 10 wickets in the third and final T20I but finished the series 2-1 after suffering defeats in the first two matches. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said the result was disappointing but it gave them a chance to adapt to the conditions ahead of the T20 World Cup.

In the third T20I on Saturday, pacer Mustafizur Rehman's exceptional 6-10 figures allowed them to restrict the USA for 109-9 in 20 overs. Tanzid Hasan's unbeaten 58 coupled with opener Saumya Sarkar's 28-ball 43 not out handed the visitors a 10-wicket win in 11.4 overs.

"Boys showed a lot of character and everyone executed their plans. It's very disappointing to lose the series, we did not play well, to be honest. But to finish on a high today will help us ahead of the World Cup.

We know the conditions and how it will be and we are looking forward," Santo said in the post-match presentation.
