Bangladesh, a ODI team since 1984 and a Test member nation since 2000 and a very dangerous side in ODIs and T20Is hit a new low as they lost the first two T20Is of the three-match series against the USA and now trail 2-0 in the series.
The second T20I was played at the Prairie View Cricket Complex in Texas on Thursday and while many believed that the loss in the first T20I was nothing but an upset, Bangladesh proved their fans wrong.
Chasing 145, Bangladesh were bowled out of 138 in 19.3 overs, as Ali Khan returned with figures of 3/25 for USA. Saurabh Netravalkar and Shadley van Schalkwyk bagged two wickets each. Meanwhile, Najmul Hossain Shanto registered 36 off 34 balls.
Earlier, USA posted 144/6 in 20 overs as Monank Patel slammed 42 off 38 balls. For Bangladesh, Rishad Hossain, Shoriful Islam, and Mustafizur Rahman bagged two wickets each.
This loss to the USA meant that Bangladesh is now 0-2 down in the three-match series and the USA have a realistic chance of whitewashing them in the series.
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh cricket team fans and general cricket followers were left stunned at the outcome of the encounter on Thursday.
Here are some of the reactions:
