'Glad for USA, but DAMN' - Ex-Mumbai Indians star and others react to USA's stunning series win over Bangladesh
USA caused one of the biggest upsets in international cricket by winning a T20I series over the Test-playing nation Bangladesh in Houston. Last night, they got the better of Bangladesh by six runs in the second T20I to take an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the three-match T20I series.
Batting first, USA could only post 144/6, which looked like a below-par total against a team like Bangladesh. However, Bangladesh were bundled on a mere 138 in 19.3 overs to hand a famous victory for USA, who have been on the rise as a cricketing nation.
Ali Khan won the Player of the Match award for his brilliant bowling display and holding his nerves in the tense moments at the back end of the innings. This win will certainly give ample confidence to USA, who are the joint hosts of the T20 World Cup 2024.

Following USA’s historic win over Bangladesh, Mitchell McClenaghan took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to express his shock over such a massive upset. While he was happy with USA’s top efforts, McClenaghan was surprised with Bangladesh’s performance.
“Bro glad for USA BUT DAMN…. what’s going on?”
Before the start of the T20I series against Zimbabwe earlier in the month, Shakib made a bizarre statement, claiming the series against USA is not ideal for the preparation for the T20 World Cup 2024. Now that Bangladesh have lost a series against USA, Shakib accepted it was a wake-up call for his team.
