USA vs BAN Team Previews
USA
Fresh off its 4-0 success against a visiting Canadian team, USA will look to continue with the winning momentum as it heads to the marquee event.
Monank Patel led his team from the front in that series and was the top run-getter for the hosts in that series. He will once again be the key batsman for the USA. He, alongside Steven Taylor, makes up for a strong opening pair.
Andries Gous and Aaron Jones have chipped in with a couple of valuable knocks in the middle order but a lot will depend on Corey Anderson.
The former New Zealand international has plenty of experience playing on the big stage, especially in the shortest format.
Shadley van Schalkwyk and Saurabh Netravalkar make up for a potent attack with the new ball while Noshtush Kenjige and Harmeet Singh can prove to be quite effective on a slow pitch.
USA Playing 11
Monank Patel, Aaron Jones, Andries Gous, Corey Anderson, Ali Khan, Harmeet Singh, Jasdeep Singh, Nitish Kumar, Nosthush Kenjige, Saurabh Netravalkar, Steven Taylor.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh is coming into this contest on the back of a 4-1 win against Zimbabwe. While they will be a bit disappointed with the loss in the final T20I, the team will look to make a positive start here.
The visitors have named a well-balanced squad for this tour under the leadership of Najmul Hossain Shanto. There is plenty of firepower in the top order thanks to the presence of Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, and Tanzid Hasan. But perhaps Bangladesh’s biggest strength comes from the quality of the all-rounders they possess.
Shakib Al-Hasan, Mahedi Hasan, and Mahmudullah are all capable of changing the course of the game with both, the bat and the ball. With Taskin Ahmed nursing an injury, we expect Hasan Mahmud to share the new ball with Mustafizur Rahman, with Shoriful Islam being the 3rd pacer.
The spin attack will be led by Shakib and may be supported by Tanvir Islam.

Pitch and Conditions
The Prairie View Stadium is a relatively new venue. Seeing the past domestic T20 matches played here, we expect a well-balanced surface. The seamers will get some help when the ball is new, while the spinners can expect some turn during the second half. A score of around 170 is a par score. The weather is expected to remain warm and humid with temperatures of around 30 degrees.
USA vs BAN Betting Tips
While the odds being offered for an away win are very short, it doesn’t make sense to bet on the underdog here. Bangladesh is a superior side compared to the USA and is likely to win this match.
Bet on Bangladesh to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Mustafizur is Bangladesh’s most successful seamer in the T20 format. He has picked up 110 wickets at an average of 22.78. He is coming into this match on the back of some excellent bowling against Zimbabwe as well as in the IPL.
Hridoy has emerged as a dependable top-order batsman for Bangladesh in recent matched matches. He has scored at least 22 runs in 4 of his last 7 T20 internationals and we are backing him to play a good knock here.
