In this mnatch prediction, We provide a detailed report for the 3rd T20I between USA and BAN, analyzing team form, key players, and who is likely to win today’s match. Prairie View Cricket Complex, Houston, will see the USA hosting Bangladesh for the third and final T20I of the T20I series on May 25, 2024.
The historic venue, which hosted the first two T20Is, witnessed a memorable series victory just a few days ago. Ali Khan, Saurabh Netravalkar, and Shadley van Schalkwyk shone with the ball, orchestrating an incredible turnaround by taking the last six Bangladeshi wickets for just 36 runs with Bangladesh needing just 43 runs off the final six overs of the game.
With the T20 World Cup 2024 approaching, Bangladesh would want to seriously buck up and perform as needed. They’d be aiming to get their players into good form ahead of the warm-up matches before the marquee event kicks off.

Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Towhid Hridoy
The 23-year-old has enjoyed a successful May with the bat, stroking two unbeaten 30s and two half-centuries in his seven innings this month. Despite his team being 2-0 down in the series, he is the top-scorer with 83 runs, 24 runs ahead of the player in second place. Hridoy’s aim would be to regain his form in its entirety before the warm-up matches begin.
Probable Best Bowler: Mustafizur Rahman
With a productive, albeit shortened IPL 2024 behind him and seven wickets from the recent T20Is against Zimbabwe and the USA, the left-arm pacer would be charged up to deliver a robust performance and assist his team in securing a consolation victory.
