The Americans could only manage 104-9 in their 20 overs and the visitors rattled that total off in 11.4 overs without losing a wicket.

The United States, who stunned their higher-ranked opponents by winning the opening two games, claim the series 2-1, a huge boost for their morale ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup which they co-host with West Indies.

The Americans will face Canada in the opening game of the tournament on Saturday in Dallas but will do so after a chastening loss.

Shayan Jahangir and Andries Gous got the hosts off to a great start, making 46 before Gous, who had struck four fours and a six in his 15-ball 27, holed out to Soumya Sarkar at long-off from the bowling of Shakib Al Hasan.

Jahingir, who made 18, went five balls later, his attempt to pull Mustafizur finding Tanzim Hasan Sakib at square-leg.

The Americans lost all momentum, adding just 14 runs for the next three wickets, with their run-rate having plummeted.

Left-arm medium pacer Mustafizur returned at the death for his second spell, finishing with his career best T20I figures of 6-10.

Bangladesh knocked off the target with ease - Tanzid Hasan making 58 from 42 balls and Soumya 43 off 28 with the American bowling attack unable to apply any real pressure.

Najmul Hossain Shanto, the Bangladesh captain was pleased with the way his team had responded to the two losses in the week.

"I think the boys showed a lot of character today. I think the plan we made before this match, everyone executed," he said.

"It's very disappointing for us (losing the series). We didn't play well to be very honest. But we finished on a high note and I think this confidence going up to the World Cup will help us and we know all the condition and all those things. So, we experienced all those things. If we go to the World Cup with those experiences then it will help our team," he added.

USA vice-captain Aaron Jones said there had been poor judgement from the American batsmen.

"I just think it's coming down to our shot selection, we have played poor shots," he said.

The USA will play two warm-up games ahead of the Canada clash -- facing Bangladesh again on Tuesday before hosting Nepal on Thursday -- both games will be at Grand Prairie, Dallas.

"I think right now we are still trying to get the combination going into the World Cup. So those two games are going to be very important for us," he added.

Mustafizur Rahman's 6/10 helps Bangladesh restore pride with win in final T20I vs USA

Bangladesh suffered a shocking T20I series loss at the hands of the USA, with veteran all-rounder Shakib al Hasan calling it a ‘wakeup call’ for the Tigers heading into the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Bangladesh suffered a shocking T20I series loss at the hands of the USA, with veteran all-rounder Shakib al Hasan calling it a ‘wakeup call’ for the Tigers heading into the 2024 T20 World Cup. The hosts stunned Bangladesh in the second T20I on Thursday (May 23) in Houston, beating them by six runs to take the match and series home – their first over a full-member team in this format. Being embarrassed yet accepting the defeat, Shakib said they did not take the USA lightly ahead of the lead-up series for the World Cup. Chasing 145, Bangladesh was in a comfortable position with 106 for four inside the 15th over; however, a lower-order collapse called for their misery, as they fell shy of the target by six runs. A second consecutive loss against the USA exposed their tactics and preparations for the 20-team tournament starting June 2 in the Americas. USA Win the Thriller and Claim the Series Over Bangladesh! 🏏🇺🇸 Remarkable skill and determination shown in the series by the World Cup hosts to secure this historic win. 🎉🏆 . .#USACricket #T20I #USAvsBAN #FanCode pic.twitter.com/FazXZeUjIi — FanCode (@FanCode) May 24, 2024 × Addressing the media following the second game, Shakib said the team was disappointed with the result but praised the home side for being gritty and playing their best cricket to come on the top.

"I think no one expected that we would lose two games. Any match you lose as a team is disappointing, and you don't want to lose a game, and obviously it is very disappointing. But having said that, we have to play the World Cup, and this series might be a wakeup call for us as we haven't played the way we want to play,” he added. Without blaming anyone for the loss, Shakib insisted on each player taking equal responsibility for the result, adding that playing well in all three departments is paramount for each player. "It's a team game, and everyone has to take responsibility - you win as a team and you lose as a team. I don't want to blame any particular person or any particular department. It's just that T20 is such a format you have to play very good cricket in all three departments to win against any team. There are no small or big teams in T20 cricket and that's why it is more exciting than any other format. And the proof of that is in the last two games the way USA played,” he continued. 'We didn’t take them lightly' Although for a team that reached the quarters and semis of the major ICC events before, losing to an associate nation is a shocker. However, despite the result, Shakib admitted that Bangladesh didn’t take them lightly ahead of this series. "I don't think we took them lightly. In the first game, maybe we couldn't do what we wanted to do, and in the second game, exactly the same thing happened - we couldn't execute the plans that we were supposed to do on the ground. "In T20 every team is very much equal. I have seen the game between West Indies A and Nepal, and they really played well, and you are seeing games between Ireland and Netherlands, and they are playing very close matches. Pakistan lost to Ireland, and in T20 it is anybody's game,” he continued. Meanwhile, the final T20I will take place in Houston on Saturday (May 25).
