Bangladesh to face off USA again for T20 WC warm up

TEXAS, May 27, 2024 (BSS)- Just a couple of days after losing the three-match 
T20 International series, Bangladesh are set to take on The United States of 
America (USA) once again, this time for an official warm-up game of the T20 
World Cup (WC).

The venue of the first warm-up game remains the same-the cursed Grand Prairie 
Cricket Stadium--where the USA gave them their most shocking experience in 
their cricket history. 

The match starts from 9.30 AM Bangladesh Time.

While Bangladesh were expected to ease to the series victory, USA grabbed a 
five-wicket win in the first match and then snatched a six-run victory in the 
second game to win the first ever series against a Test nation.

USA then took a bold move to rest their four first choice players including 
Captain Monank Patel. The move didn't go augurs well for them as Bangladesh 
came back strongly to crush them by 10 wickets and avoided the whitewash.

USA may well bring back those four players again for the first official warm 
up game against Bangladesh in a bid to give them game time again for better 
World Cup preparation.

Bangladesh, however, wants to leave the memory of the past series behind them 
when they take on USA again. A series defeat to USA, what sparked a strong 
criticism and angered the fans back at home vehemently, only could be cured 
if Bangladesh plays well in T20 World Cup. 

The step to bury the nightmare of the USA series will start against this USA 
indeed. 

Bangladesh will take on India on June 1 for their second and final warm up 
game of the T20 World Cup.
