Tanzid, Soumya help Bangladesh seal 10-wicket win over the USA after Mustafiz 6-for

Bangladesh finally bagged a win against the USA. After already losing the series, Bangladesh sealed a 10-wicket victory in the third and final T20I at the Prairie View Cricket Complex in Houston on Saturday. 

This is Bangladesh's first 10-wicket victory in T20Is.

Chasing a petty 105 runs, opening duo Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Soumya Sarkar remained unbeaten scoring 108 runs in only 11.4 overs to seal the consolation victory.

Tanzid hit fifty, scoring 58 off 42 deliveries hitting five boundaries and three maximums. Soumya bagged 42 off 28 balls where he hit four boundaries and two maximums. 

Earlier, Mustafizur Rahman's miserly six-wicket haul helped Bangladesh restrict the USA to 104-9 in their 20 overs.

Mustafizur's six for 10 is now the best bowling figures by a Bangladeshi in T20Is. It was the left-arm seamer's second five-wicket haul.

USA were off to a rollicking start as Andries Gous (27 off 15) and Shayan Jahangir (18 off 20) added 46 in just five overs before Shakib Al Hasan snared the former back. 

But Mustafizur's introduction halted USA's progress as he sent back Jahangir and Nitish Kumar. The hosts were 56-3 in the 10th over.

Tanzim Hasan Sakib (1-32) redeemed himself after an expensive opening spell and Rishad Hossain (1-7) gave away just seven runs off four overs.

Mustafizur then returned at the death to claim his best T20 figures as the USA were kept to a below-par total.

Apart from the openers, only Corey Anderson (18) and Shadley van Schalkwyk (12) reached double figures.
