Another great knock from our captain, then classy Lytton. Although we lost the match but InshAllah we are improving and picking at the right time. Now we just have to do well in all three categories. We will do something special in the upcoming World Cup.
Liton and Shakib played very well. Their performance is truly commendable. However, Bangladesh did not get big scores from their opening pair. This is the main weakness of the Bangladesh team. A good performance of the opening pair is very important in the T20 format. If the opening pair plays well, it is easy to control the match. Also the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers is not good. Mustafiz is the key bowler of Bangladesh. He can't bowl as well as he used to. Mustafiz scored a lot of runs in the death overs in the T20 format. Bangladesh will not be able to win even a single match in the World Cup if these type small weaknesses cannot be solved.
After scoring a good total of 173 runs, the Bangladesh team still loses the match which is a big question mark over their bowling. They should have defended the match but it did not happen. The economy rate of bowlers were too high and Mohammad Saifuddin had the worst bowing figures who gave away 53 runs in his four overs quota.
Pakistan was already in the finals and this run chase will give them more confidence. Again the reason why Pakistan chased this big score was the opening partnership between babar Azam and Rizwan. Mohammad Rizwan scored 69 runs and was man of the match. Pakistan lost their first wicket at 101 runs and it gave them perfect platform to chase this target.
