Shakib made 11 off seven balls having arrived on the crease within the twelfth over with Bangladesh needing 121 runs at 14.23 per over. He rued the crew’s lack of battle within the enterprise finish of the event as they made below-par scores of 140 for 8 and 146 for 8 towards Australia and India respectively. The Bangladesh prime order’s continued poor kind hasn’t improved even on the Antigua pitches the place batting is seemingly simpler than on most surfaces on this event. Shakib mentioned that they could not even present their intent of wanting chasing India’s 196 runs on this sport.

“We have now a 50 p.c win charge on this World Cup but when we had fought towards India and Australia the way in which we fought towards South Africa, we might have referred to as it a superb World Cup marketing campaign,” Shakib mentioned. “We’re wanting runs as a batting unit. We made 140 within the final sport, 146 in the present day. We must always have completed higher in the present day since we had a goal in entrance of us. We could not even present it to people who we had been attempting [to chase the target] in the present day. I do not assume the arrogance was there. We have now lacked on this space all through the World Cup.

“It’s important to carry your A-game towards groups like Australia and India. I believe we lacked in ability and energy. We could not do the fundamentals for longer intervals to create stress. All through this World Cup, I do not assume we justified ourselves as a batting unit. We’re able to scoring huge runs. We had been effectively wanting par scores like 175-185 within the final two video games, each performed on good wickets. Perhaps India scored 20 extra runs in the present day however we now have to indicate the intent from the beginning of the innings. I do not assume it was there.”

Tamim, in his capability as an knowledgeable for ESPNcricinfo, mentioned after the match that Bangladesh’s lack of intent with the bat shocked him towards India. “[Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh’s captain] mentioned that he ought to have completed the sport however Bangladesh by no means obtained shut on this contest. I did not perceive why he would say that. Bangladesh’s batting has dissatisfied on this complete event. The think-tank actually wants to consider how they’ll go from right here on.

“When your batters are scoring runs, you’re assured that your batting line-up can chase down a complete like 160 or 170. When you realize that your batting is struggling, it shocked me that [Bangladesh] determined to bowl first. Couple of their selections have shocked me on this sport. Fingers shall be pointed.”

Tamim added that the Bangladesh crew administration’s resolution to go away out Taskin Ahmed towards India, bringing within the additional batter in Jaker Ali, left him shocked. Taskin had gone for some runs towards Australia, however he’s the crew’s vice-captain, and somebody regarded upon because the bowling assault chief.

“I used to be very shocked why Taskin did not play. Each the spinners went for loads of runs. There was a time when India had been in a little bit of hassle dropping back-to-back wickets to Tanzim [Hasan Sakib]. If Taskin was there as an additional quick bowler, Bangladesh might have attacked India extra. We learn about Shivam Dube’s short-ball weak point. Taskin had the tempo to make use of these techniques towards him.”

Tamim additionally felt that not giving the brand new ball to Mustafizur Rahman was a missed alternative to tackle Rohit Sharma’s talked-about weak point towards left-arm tempo, whereas he additionally felt that Tanzim might have been allowed to proceed with the brand new ball as a result of he was dealing with it effectively within the earlier matches.

“Everyone seems to be speaking about Rohit Sharma having a bit of weak point towards left-arm quick bowling. It performs on the participant’s thoughts when he takes on an identical bowler within the sport. Bangladesh had a possibility to start out with the left-arm seamer, simply to take a look. India may need scored 196, however Rohit’s begin was crucial for India. That is how momentum comes.

“Tanzim did effectively with the brand new ball within the earlier matches. He did not get the brand new ball in the present day. Why do you must change the entire setup for someone else and even when somebody is doing exceptionally effectively?”

Dropping Taskin was primarily to spice up the flagging batting line-up. It has been problematic for a very long time, however since coming to North America final month, the top-order has caved towards most bowling assaults. Shakib mentioned that Bangladesh has a common batting tendency to do higher on difficult wickets fairly than on good batting pitches.

“We do not actually do effectively after we play on flat wickets that produce 180-200 runs,” Shakib mentioned. “We play higher on wickets that produce 130-150 runs. That is what we’re acquainted with. Aside from one sport in BPL this yr, our native batters have not actually chased huge runs. It stays our weak point.”

Tamim additional defined that the Bangladesh batters aren’t used to good batting wickets for a few years. He mentioned that they play on sluggish and low surfaces again residence the place they play most of their cricket, so after they encounter good ones in ICC tournaments, they get caught out not understanding what to do.

“Bangladesh [usually] play in troublesome wicket for batters. In addition they cannot begin scoring runs freely once you put them in an excellent wicket. You could know how you can rating runs even on a superb wicket. You could know your limitations on which photographs to play. I believe there must be a long-term plan the place Bangladesh ought to play on good wickets. They do not get it in Mirpur.”

Tamim mentioned that even their marquee T20 event, the Bangladesh Premier League, failed to provide thrilling cricket as a result of nature of the pitches within the nation. He mentioned that the win-first (at residence) nature of Bangladesh cricket has left the batters within the lurch.

He recommended being affected person with higher pitches in order that the batters can enhance whereas the bowlers additionally decide up how you can bowl on good batting surfaces.

“BPL is a improbable event however we could not get wickets that excited the crowds. The final two years, scores have been increased. Groups are chasing 170-180, however we’re so result-oriented in Bangladesh. If we now have an excellent wicket within the first sport, the second we lose that sport, individuals are attempting to make a spin-friendly monitor. I believe not solely gamers and coaches, the board additionally has to return out of that mentality. Allow us to lose for an additional six months, however let’s put together wickets the place bowlers and batters can be taught. I believe that is the one approach ahead for Bangladesh cricket.”
