USA vs BAN Top Player Picks

Andries Gous (USA): The top-order batter has plied his trade during the Abu Dhabi T10 and ILT20 this edition, and has been one of the players to watch out for. Gous is a top-order aggressor who is not afraid to take the charge against the bowlers.

Harmeet Singh (USA): The all-rounder has been brilliant with the bat as well as the ball. He has the best bowling figures at the venue and is used to the ways of the pitches. Harmeet has also showcased his calibre lower down the order with the bat. 

Towhid Hridoy (BAN): The middle-order batter smashed a fifty in their last game against USA. He is a terrific player against spin and pace, and has been in good touch with the willow. Hridoy has the ability to switch gears whenever needed. 

Mustafizur Rahman (BAN): The left-arm pacer arrived on the back of a brilliant IPL 2024 outing with the Chennai Super Kings. He picked up a couple of wickets in the first T20I and has a variety of mixups to outfox the opposition.

Corey Anderson (USA): The former New Zealand all-rounder was influential with the bat despite bowling a couple of seam-ups in the last game. Anderson displayed strong finishing skills in the last game against Bangladesh.

Tanzid Hasan Tamim (BAN): As an opener for Bangladesh, the young gun has performed admirably with the bat. He appeared to be in good shape during the recent Zimbabwe series, scoring a pair of match-winning runs for his team.
