We couldn't give our best: Scotland captain

Scotland lost the toss before the start of the match. After batting, the pressure increased in the third over with the departure of captain Kyle Quetzal. At one stage they lost 6 wickets for 53 runs and became cornered. But at the end of the match, the name of the winning team was Scotland.

Scotland played Bangladesh in the second match of the opening day of the T20 World Cup on Sunday. After losing 6 wickets for just 53 runs, Christopher Greaves' 45-run innings helped the Scots to score 140 runs. Later, Bangladesh bowled 134 runs and won the match by 6 runs.

But in this match, Scotland could not give the best of its ability. At the end of the match, the captain said this. However, the team captain Quetzer thinks that there is proof that Scotland can win from any situation.

"We knew we had to play great to beat the opposition," the Scottish captain said at the end of the game. Certainly, we could not play against strong Bangladesh to the best of our ability. The thing that matters most is that everyone has helped each other. I am very happy with the boys 'performance.'

Despite winning the match in the end, Quetzer is not forgetting to give due credit to Bangladesh bowlers. The captain of the winning team frankly admitted that they were under a lot of pressure at the beginning.

His comment, 'Bangladeshi bowlers certainly deserve credit. They showed good skills. But you can't put any team in the T20 in the cancellation register. We relied on our batting depth. We believed we could kill and play. '

He added, ‘The work was a little difficult as there was a lot of dew on the field. Our fielders have done great fielding. Full credit to them. The lower-order batsmen showed that we can win the match in any situation. That's what I said after the first inning, now we have to show that we can win from anywhere.

Bangladesh's shame rate against Scotland in the first match

source

Bangladesh had faced Scotland only once before in T20 cricket. The Scots lost to Bangladesh in that match held in 2012. In this format, the European country maintained its winning streak against Bangladesh.

On the opening day of the World Cup in Oman, Bangladesh lost to Scotland by 6 runs. This shameful defeat is the companion in the failure of the batsmen.

In reply to Scotland's 140 runs, Bangladesh lost 6 wickets and stopped at 134 runs.

In that match held in The Hague of Netherlands in 2012, Bangladesh lost by 34 runs. Scotland batted first and scored 162 runs. Richie Barrington scored 100 runs. In reply, Bangladesh was bowled out for 117 in 16 overs. The Tigers maintained that continuity even after 9 years. They could not match themselves in front of a team like Scotland when they came on the stage of the World Cup.

The failure of the two openers, in the beginning, started a catastrophic situation in Bangladesh. After that, Shakib and Mushfiqur's excessive slow batting basically drowned Bangladesh. But in doing so, he has lost a lot of balls. Shakib played 20 balls and scored 20 runs. Batting worse than Test cricket.

Kneeling Bangladesh batted from the start to chase the modest target of 141 runs to win. The majestic government cannot get out of off form. Even if he plays in one position at a time, his luck is not changing. This time, Saumya took the path to the toilet at the beginning to start the innings.

As a result, the Tigers were pushed in the second over. The left-arm batsman was caught trying to hit Josh Dave at midwicket, he made 5 runs off 5 balls.

Then Liton Das was also disappointed. He also collected only 5 runs (6 balls). Brad Whale Slower doesn't understand Madoff catch Liton.

Two openers in the dressing room for 16 runs. Bangladesh was under pressure from the beginning. From there, the experienced pair Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim were trying to turn the bat around.

The duo put up a 48-run stand. Shakib-Mushfiqur tried to save Bangladesh from disaster by batting a little slower but whoever was set on the wicket, Shakib Al Hasan got out immediately. Shakib caught McLeod off leg-spinner Chris Greaves. He played 28 balls and scored only 20 runs.

When the two openers and Shakib Al Hasan returned to the dressing room, Mushfiqur Rahim was a beacon of hope for the wicket. But that lamp also went out in one breath. Mr. Dependable returned with 36 off 36 balls.

Mushfiqur could not see the run for a long time. When his bat was speaking against Scotland today, it seemed that Mushfiqur's day was over. But no, he made the usual mistake. Chris Greaves googled the leg break ball. Failed to scoop it up. Became bold. Mushfiqur could have played this shot even if he did not play at that time.

Afif Hossain Dhrubar is known as a batsman in Marquette. He tried to give a little identity by hitting two boundaries on the field. But Afif Hossain was out for just 12 runs, leaving the team in great danger rather than pulling Dhruv.

After that, Nurul Hasan Sohan, who hit 6 sixes in the warm-up match, also joined the procession. He wasted three balls, without a run.

Mahmudullah Riyadh lit a glimmer of hope with a six. But at the last minute when the team is in dire need, it is out

Go with a catch in McLeod's hand off Brad Wheel. At the last minute, Mehedi Hasan scored 13 off 5 balls and Saifuddin scored 5 off 2 balls. But that was no longer possible.

Brad Wheel, Joss Davy, leg-spinner Chris Greaves and Mark Watt are the main players in Bangladesh. The defeat was a big blow to Khera's dream of a Super Twelve.

Earlier, Mehedi-Sakib-Mostafiz bowled out Scotland for 140 runs for 9 wickets. Captain Mahmudullah Riyad was instrumental in today's toss at Al Amera in Muscat. He invited Scotland to bat first. Bangladeshi bowlers have proved the justification of the captain's decision from the beginning.

Mahmudullah started the bowling attack with Taskin Ahmed. Taskin gave 4 runs in the first over. Mostafizur Rahman is more frugal in the next over, spending only 1 run.

Changed the bowler again in the third over. This time Mahmudullah attacked Mohammad Saifuddin. Saifuddin got success in the fourth ball with the first three-ball dot.

Matthew Cross was out after playing cross. Sheikh Mahedi Hasan made him lbw in the second ball of the eighth over of the innings. Three balls later, he also bowled the formidable George Munseke (29 off 23 balls).

Just as a match is missed in a catch, a catch can also turn the match around. Afif Hossain caught the eye in the first match of the World Cup with a great catch.

The way Shakib Al Hasan was bowled by Scottish batsman Scott Barrington (2 off 5 balls), the ball could have been a six. But Afif caught the set at the boundary. After not being able to keep the balance, the ball went up and went out of bounds. Coming from there, he took the catch again.

Mehdi Hasan hit a double in the eighth over of the innings. Shakib hit a double in the eleventh over. After Barrington, Michael Lisk (0) was caught by Liton Das at the boundary while trying to pick him up.

Mehdi again in the next over. Bold column McLeod (5) to cut him. Scotland lost 6 wickets for 53 runs. From there Mark Watt and Chris Gibbs resisted. The two have batted in a T20 mood. He added 51 runs in 34 balls.

Taskin finally broke the tie in the 18th over. Saumya Sarkar was caught in the 18-ball 22 boundary.

However, Greaves has batted well in Marquette. He made 45 runs off 26 balls. Mostafizur Rahman returned the batter in the last over and Shakib caught it at the boundary. Josh Dave (6) was bowled by another wicket-cutting master in the next ball. However, it did not create a hat-trick.

Sheikh Mehdi was the most successful bowler in Bangladesh. The offspinner took 3 wickets for 19 runs. Shakib took 2 wickets for 16 runs. Mostafiz took 2 wickets at the cost of 32 runs. Taskin and Saifuddin took one wicket each.

Shakib-Mushfiqur is leading with a bang, 59 runs in 10 overs

source

In the beginning, Bangladesh lost the majestic government and Liton Das and fell into great danger. Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim may have adopted a slow-moving policy to pull the team out of that danger. Only 59 runs were scored in 10 overs due to two batsmen batting. However, the two are slowly increasing the speed of the run.

At the time of writing, Bangladesh lost 2 wickets for 59 runs in 10 overs. Shakib Al Hasan is batting with 23 runs from 23 balls. Mushfiqur Rahim is batting with 29 runs off 25 balls. Mushfiqur hit two sixes in a row to Scottish bowler Michael Lisk.

Conditions are changing, tournaments are changing, batting positions are also changing. But the off-form of the majestic government is not changing. Bangladesh is chasing the target of 141 runs thrown by Scotland in their opening match of the T20 World Cup. Soumya took the path to the toilet at the beginning to open the innings.

As a result, the Tigers were pushed in the second over. The left-arm batsman was caught trying to hit Josh Dave at midwicket, he made 5 runs off 5 balls.

Then Liton Das was also disappointed. He also collected only 5 runs (6 balls). Brad Whale Slower doesn't understand Madoff catch Liton.

Earlier, Scotland was bowled out for 140 for 9 by Mehdi-Sakib-Mostafiz. Captain Mahmudullah Riyad was the lucky winner of today's toss in Al Amera. He invited Scotland to bat first. Bangladeshi bowlers have proved the justification of the captain's decision from the beginning.

Nasum's lack is, wasn't the three spinner formula right?

Two surprises in the XI before the start! This year, left-arm opener Naeem Sheikh has not played since March. Instead, the majestic Sarkar in the first XI as the opener with Liton Das. Left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed, who has become almost regular with Shakib, is also out of the XI.

It's hard to match. Because Nasum was one of the three spinners from that Zimbabwe tour. The left-arm spinner was even in the XI for the warm-up matches against Oman 'A' and Sri Lanka and Ireland.

But today Bangladesh played without Nasum in the first match of the first round of the T20 World Cup. There is no left-handed Nasum. However, the other two spinners Shakib and Sheikh Mahdi have compensated. Even then, at the end of the Scotland innings, it seemed that Nasum would have been better off. Because the Scots could not play Shakib and Mahdi at ease.

Mahdi bowled and sent Matthew Cruz and George Mansi back to the dressing room in the first over to push the Scots back. The offspinner's wicket was straight and the right-handed cross was the leg before the wicket. And left-handed Mansi went bold to sweep. Even then Mahdi took one more wicket.

The offspinner took 3 wickets (19). And Shakib also showed his face with the ball as usual. Although Taskin failed to catch his ball, 2 wickets were deposited next to Shakib's name. That too for only 16 runs.

Sheikh Mahdi and Shakib's total in 36 overs. And they have dropped 5 wickets. Notice this little statistic. Shakib and Mahdi gave 4.5 overs. Scotland, who lost six wickets for 53 runs in their two-wicket spin attack, made 140 in the end.

That means 104 runs in the remaining 12 overs. Of these, offspinner Afif gave 10 in one over. That means three fast bowlers Taskin, Mostafizur, and Saifuddin combined for 94 in 11 overs.

Where Taskin has risen to 26 in 3 overs. Mostafiz got 2 wickets but gave 32 in 4 overs. The first over was Maiden. And the Scots took 30 runs in 3 overs of Saifuddin.

These statistics show that the spinners have done the job. The pacers gave them double runs. Shortly after Sheikh Mahdi and Shakib finished bowling, the Scottish batsmen slowly matched themselves. So the Scots, who scored 51 for 3 in the first 10 overs, scored 69 in the next 10 overs. Needless to say, it was because of the loose bowling of the fast bowlers.

Therefore, it can be said that Bangladesh has missed another extra spinner in the match. If there was Nasum with Shakib and Mahdi, it is doubtful whether the Scots would have come to 140 after losing 6 wickets for 53 runs.

Whatever the outcome of the match, Australia is not as hard, fast, and bouncy as Australia and South Africa behind the Al Emirate Stadium in Oman. It is more reasonable to play three spinners than a three-pacer formula.

In that practice match also, it was seen that the fast bowlers are giving more runs. Today, the spinners have doubled their runs, say the pacers. The way the Scots played Taskin as they wished, could Mansi, Cross, Richie Barrington have played left-arm spinner Nasum so easily?
