The pitch was tailor made for someone like Mustafizur Rahman who got a lot of assists from it but USA after winning two games were expected to play better. However, they'll be confident overall off this series, knowing they have beaten a Test playing nation. Both teams tried and twisted a couple of things and looks set for the upcoming World Cup. A historic moment though for USA and a proud moment for their team.

!
A complete performance by Bangladesh but they wished for a performance like this a bit earlier in the series. They lose the series but this is a statement win by them going into the World Cup. The win was set up by bowlers, mainly Mustafizur Rahman who took 6 wickets. The Fizz was at his best today with his slower balls and off-cutters. USA on the other hand found it hard today to get going. They kept losing wickets regularly and never looked in a winning position in the game.
