USA's 6-run win against Bangladesh is their smallest margin of victory in terms of runs in T20Is, surpassing their 10-run win against the Cayman Islands.
Monank Patel (USA Captain): "The way the bowlers bowled in the powerplay and in the last 5 overs. They used the conditions well and got the wickets at the right time.
We are high on confidence and leading in to the World Cup it will definitely help us."

Najmul Hossain Shanto (Bangladesh Captain): "Its very disappointing from us. We lost wickets in the middle overs that is the main point we lost this match.
We didn't play well to be very honest. Its a very good opportunity. We think we can play some good cricket in the next match.
Its not about the skills. We should change our mindset."

Ali Khan (Player of the Match): "It was a low-scoring game, and the pitch got slower in the second innings. The bowlers did a great job, taking wickets and putting pressure on Bangladesh.
Netravalkar's 19th over was crucial and helped in the final over. I focused on believing in myself and aiming for wickets. That boundary put pressure on me, but I returned to my strengths.
The tail-enders were expecting short balls, and I tried that, but it didn't work. I adjusted, came back strong, and got the wicket."
