England managed to score only 117 runs and was given a target of 118 runs. I never imagined that I would see such a batting disaster from an experienced team like England. England batted well in the first 6 overs of the power play. But soon after that, they started losing wickets. And their run rate continues to decline. And in the end, they managed to collect 117 runs.
Bangladesh captain Shakib used 8 bowlers today. And he succeeded. Shakib, Miraz, and Mustafiz bowled well. Miraz conceded just 12 runs in 4 overs and took 4 wickets. This was perhaps the best bowling of Mehdi Miraz's career.
I actually think there is only one problem in today's match. Shakib Al Hassan could have not given the part-timers one over each, (Afif and Shanto) instead he could have given Hasan Mahmud one more over and bowl one more by himself. In the end, I will say that it was overall a good performance from Bangladesh. If we generally look at an inning like 46 runs from 47 balls, especially in t20 cricket, We don't say it is a good inning. But today this is exactly what was needed. Shanto delivered. Bangladesh made history today by beating the t20 world champion.
Does anyone else think that Taskin Ahmed should be given a chance to open for Bangladesh in the t20? I think that can be a very good move, to be honest.
