Houston: Bangladesh were expected to bounce back with a win on Thursday against the United States of America after they lost the first game, but that did not happen. The United States of America beat Bangladesh by six runs to clinch the three-match T20I series by taking a 2-0 unassailable lead. Following the loss, Bangladesh captain Najmul Shanto admitted that it is very disappointing. He also went onto give a possible reason as to why he thought they lost the game. Najmul reckoned losing too many wickets in the middle overs was the reason for the loss.

“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,” Najmul said at the post-match presentation.
