Before co-hosting the Men’s T20 World Cup next month, the United States pulled off a significant shock by defeating Bangladesh by five wickets in the opening Twenty20 international of their three-match series.
With three balls remaining in Dallas, Texas, the USA, rated 19th in the T20 international rankings, defeated their goal of 154 thanks to Corey Anderson, a former New Zealand international, who finished 34 not out.
When the hosts needed 50 off the final 20 balls, Bangladesh seemed to be in control, but former India Under-19s all-rounder Harmeet Singh (33no off 13 balls) hit three consecutive sixes to change the tide.
