After their surprise opening match victory on Tuesday which was also more comfortable than anyone would have expected, USA will return to the same venue with plenty of confidence on Thursday. No injuries were reported for USA after Tuesday’s triumph.
USA Team Batting
Chasing 154 for victory in the first game of the series, only Aaron Jones failed to make double figures in what was an impressive batting performance full of different contributions. Jones is a fine player though and we expect to see him make a bigger impact in this match.
USA Team Bowling
With the ball, only Corey Anderson and Harmeet Singh went wicketless and it was Steven Taylor who was the most impressive as he dismissed Soumya Sarkar and Najmul Hossain Shanto on his way to taking 2/9. Ali Khan will look to be more accurate in this match after conceding 49 on Tuesday.

BAN Team News
There will be plenty of conversations within the Bangladesh squad ahead of this match after what was one of their most embarrassing defeats and performances in the opening game of the series. However, they have more than enough quality across their side to still win this series.
BAN Team Batting
Towhid Hridoy brought his strong form from the previous T20I into the opening match when he hit two sixes and four fours and was the only player to hit a half-century. We can expect the whole of Bangladesh’s batting line-up to play in a more aggressive fashion in this match.
