In 12.1 overs, Bangladesh was forced to chase down the target of 116, but it did n't seem to push hard enough given that a spot in the semi-finals was in doubt.
After losing three wickets in their fight against Afghanistan in Kingstown, Bangladeshi skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto said his team gave up trying to get into the T20 World Cup semi-finals.
After restricting Afghanistan to 115 for 5 in the last Super Eight activity, Bangladesh needed to win in 12.1 overs to come away of Afghanistan and Australia on online run rate and count for the semi- finals from Group 1 along with India.
" The plan was to try]to win in 12.1 overs ] if we get a good start in the powerplay", Shanto said after the match. " We thought that if we do n't lose early wickets, we could take the chance]to go for the semi- finals ]. When we lost three innings, we had a unique program. We wanted to discover how we could win the game. The center- get did n't get good enough judgments, which is why we lost the game today".
Bangladesh's 23-for-3 defeat in 2.5 wickets sparked outrage among their fans, who were unable to comprehend how a team with a chance of reaching the semi-finals would view them.
In a Facebook post, former Bangladeshi captain Mashrafe Mortaza claimed that they should n't have considered just winning against Afghanistan. " Litton's intent and the non- protesters ' quietness suggests that there was no clear concept for the bat system. Even if there was a text, it changed every one or two wickets. In the end, it was decided to simply win the game.
" Today should have been only about winning in 12.1 innings. There was no other way of thinking. Everyone would have understood if they got bowled out for 50. If we had won this sport, we would had lost to our consciousness. This was not like ten different games. We had had made background today."
Bangladesh were in the hunt at 75 for 5 at the end of the seventh over. In the seventh over, Towhid Hridoy hit Mohammad Nabi for two legs before Litton Das hit Rashid Khan for two more legs. It was difficult but not difficult to score forty-three works in 3.1 overs before Mahmudullah played out a Noor Ahmad over with five circle balls and only one attacking ball that produced a limit. Rashid took two batsmen in the 11th over to finish Bangladesh's possibilities of progressing to the semi- championships.
" We wanted to win the match. It was the first plan," Shanto said". When we saw 115 runs on the table, we had a plan to win in 12.1 wickets. The batting team made a lot of bad decisions. It is frustrating and unsatisfactory. This match was something we wanted to get. We had a possibility, in our possession. We may n't get it."
Litton remained unbroken on 54, carrying his pitcher as Bangladesh were bowled out for 105 in the 18th over to verify Afghanistan's position in the semi- championships at Australia's price.
By holding up Hridoy, unquestionably their best flour in this T20 World Cup, to No 6, Bangladesh had made yet another military mistake. Sending in out- of- type batters like Soumya Sarkar over Hridoy was pricey but Shanto said the team wanted to have a remaining- right blend in the middle". Because we wanted to maintain the mixture of left and right, we changed the bat purchase. Litton was present at one conclusion. Their ball was very different. All was evident, they knew we would do this."
Bangladesh's online run level condition need not have been this grave had they shown more intensity in their earlier Super Eight game against India. Chasing 197 on a good batting pitch in Antigua, Bangladesh had managed only 146 for 8 in response. Tamim Iqbal, an expert for ESPNcricinfo, and Shakib Al Hasan had criticised the team's attitude and tactics, dropping Taskin Ahmed to not showing intent in the powerplay.
" We gave our 100 % against India," Shanto said after Bangladesh's loss to Afghanistan". We picked the extra spinner in Mahedi, who bowled well. We should have scored a few more runs on that wicket]in Antigua]. We did n't utilise it properly. The scenario would have been different had we batted better ]against India]."
Shanto signed off by apologising to the Bangladesh fans for letting them down. His last word at the press conference in St Vincent was" sorry". Bangladesh's fans, however, deserve more than a perfunctory' sorry' from their captain and the team management.
