Same confusion!
Why would you opt to bat after winning the toss? Last IPL and T-20 WC Statistics data is available for everyone to see. Shakib must be smoking weed during a briefing.
Powerplay is done and dusted and 28/3 and it's already looking a another low scoring contest.
Sometimes it happens especially when your team is not in good form, the captain tries to experiment a bit more and dares to make unpopular decisions thinking a miracle may occur because of these descsions. Now if Bangladesh loses today, the whole of Bangladesh will only blame the captain who put them into the bat first scenario.
I am afraid, Bangladesh is waiting for miracles to happen which I am afraid is not the replacement of hard work. A catch is also dropped by Bangladesh just now in the 3rd over, a simple catch i must say.
Currently, the match is getting quite interesting with Afghanistan scoring 47 runs for the loss of only two wickets. There have been almost 10 overs played so far. There is still no doubt that Afghanistan is in a commanding position in this match. In my opinion, it is not going to be a big issue for Afghanistan to win this match. Unless Bangladesh really picks up quick wickets.
As Bangladesh had a bad first inning in the history of this field, that does not mean that Bangladesh is going to win this match. It has been found that the average score which is a winning score for the team batting first is almost more than 170 if the team bats first.
