Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto expressed disappointment after their shameful series defeat against minnows United States on Thursday at Houston.
The USA defeated Bangladesh by six runs to win the second T20I and claim a shock victory in the three-match series.
This made Bangladesh the first country to suffer 100 T20I defeats.
Chasing 145 to win, Bangladesh were well-placed at 78-2 before losing their last eight wickets for 60 runs to crash to defeat two days after losing the opening match by five wickets.
The series is being played as part of the build-up to the Twenty20 World Cup in the United States and Caribbean which starts on June 1.
"I think it's very disappointing for us. We lost wickets I think in almost every overs in the middle. That is the main point I think we lost the match. (Preparation for the World Cup) Yes we didn't play very well to be honest. But I think it is a very good opportunity to have another match and execute our plans. I hope we can play some good cricket in the next match. I think it's not the problem with the skill. We should change our mentality and mindset. We didn't do well in the last two matches." Shanto said at the post match presentation.
The final game also takes place in Houston on Saturday and after that Bangladesh will face again this opponent for the T20I World Cup official warm-up game on 28th May, followed by another warm-up game against India on 1st June.
