Bangladesh is spinning in the circle of bad times. Nothing can come out of it. A hapless loss to Afghanistan in Sharjah speaks volumes about the team’s woeful state. However, Bangladesh does not want to worry too much about this loss.
Mehdi Miraj, who has been given the responsibility of vice-captain, looks forward to deal with the wounds of this defeat. The goal of this all-rounder is to take the series by winning the last two ODIs. But he also knows that the work will not be easy.
Bangladesh will face Afghanistan in the first ODI of the three-match series on Wednesday. The Tigers stopped the Afghans who had batted earlier for 235 runs in controlled bowling. In response, Bangladesh was on the way to victory by picking up 120 runs for 2 wickets. But then the team lost the last 8 wickets for just 23 runs. Lost by 92 runs.
Tomorrow (Saturday) the two teams will meet in the second match of the series. Where the Afghans will enter the field with the aim of securing the series, Bangladesh wants to save the series. The match between the two teams will start at 4 pm in Sharjah.
He also said, ‘Every team in international cricket is of good quality. You can never underestimate a team. So what we’re trying to do is one match we’ve lost. The wicket didn’t treat us the way we might have hoped.’
Mehdi Miraj then took the responsibility of losing the match on their shoulders and said, ‘We who were set batters should have taken the responsibility. we made a mistake The way the two (Miraj and Shanta) were set, one should have finished.’
However, Mirage does not want to make any mistakes in the upcoming matches. They want to win the remaining two matches to confirm the series. “We still have a chance. One match lost, two more matches to go. Regardless of the two matches, the next match is very important for us. As we are a bit on the backfoot.’
