We didn't assess the conditions as good as we should: Aaron Jones
USA rested their key players in the match including captain Monank Patel. This didn’t work out as they managed to score just 104 runs in 20 overs losing 9 wickets and Bangladesh chased the target with ease in 11.4 overs.

USA stand-in captain Aaron Jones thinks that they failed to assess the conditions well which cost them a 10-wicket loss in the third and last T20I of the series on Saturday (May 26) in Prairie View.
USA rested their key players in the match including captain Monank Patel. This didn’t work out as they managed to score just 104 runs in 20 overs losing 9 wickets and Bangladesh chased the target with ease in 11.4 overs.
"Obviously, we had a bad game today. I think that we didn't assess the conditions as good as we should. But so it goes sometimes. Kudos to Bangladesh for a great win today,” Jones said.
Jones also rues poor shot selection in the match. “I think there's a bit of shot selection (didn't go our way). We obviously played at this ground a lot. We know that sometimes it's tough to bat first. I just think it's coming down to our shot selection, we have played poor shots,” he added.
However, they are now looking to the warm-up games and the first match against Canada in the T20 World Cup. “Definitely important. I think right now we are still trying to get the combination going into the World Cup. So those two games (Warm Up) are going to be very important for us. (Against Canada) Yeah, we are definitely confident. I think we have a pretty strong team and obviously we have the extra confidence right now mentally. So just about playing good cricket and go back to the drawing board and play our best cricket, and hopefully we will come on top,” Jones further said.
