US opener Pranab Chettipalayam displayed resilience with a fifty, but aside from his innings and Utkarsh Srivastava's contribution, the rest of the team struggled to settle in. Bangladesh's bowling attack, spearheaded by Rabi with four wickets, stifled the opposition, with contributions from Eamon, Ariful, Rizwan, and Rafi as well as two run outs.
Despite a modest start from the opening pair, Ariful's standout performance took center stage. Forming a crucial partnership of 122 runs with Ahrar Amin, Ariful's composed innings of 103 runs off 103 balls, marked by nine boundaries, propelled Bangladesh to a formidable total. His century marked yet another milestone in his impressive World Cup journey, echoing his previous achievements against Pakistan and South Africa.
Supported by Shihab James and Sheikh Parvez in the latter overs, Bangladesh amassed a commendable total of 291 runs, with a notable contribution of 94 runs in the final 10 overs. Arya Garg and Arin Nadkarni led the bowling attack for the United States, claiming three and two wickets respectively.
