Batting first against America, Bangladesh batsmen were seen struggling and could not score big. Apart from him, young batsman Tauheed Hriday played a half-century and scored 58 runs in 47 balls. During this, 4 fours and 2 sixes came from his bat.

The US team, which came to chase the target, did not have a good start as they lost their first wicket at the score of 27 runs.
Harmeet Singh was the hero in this match for USA, who faced 13 balls and played an unbeaten inning of 33 runs with the help of 2 fours and 3 sixes. It was because of his innings that the team was successful in defeating Bangladesh. Apart from him, Corey Anderson also played a good innings.
