Bangladesh team won by 48 runs in the first one-dayer against Gayle in the series against the West Indies. The scorecard says the West Indies innings ended in a 231 for the loss of 277 runs in the match. It can be assumed that the innings of Bangladesh was easy and beautifully arranged.
But the reality is different. Tigers have struggled to score this 279 runs. Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal have played unbroken innings Mushfiqur Rahim has given a storm to the end. Overall, at the end of 50 overs, the scoreboard was credited to 279 runs for 4 wickets.
Shakib and Tamim put on 207 runs for the second wicket in reply of 258 runs. Tamim, who scored a century in 146, has scored a record for scoring centuries in Bangladesh. At the end, Tamim was unbeaten 130 runs in 160 balls. On the other hand, Shakib played 121 balls to score 97 runs
As a result, early criticisms of these slow bowlers have been widely criticized in Bangladesh cricket or social media. However, according to Habibul Bashar Sumon, selector of Bangladesh Cricket Board and former captain Habibul-Tamim, the best player to understand the situation was played by Shakib-Tamim. In a conversation with the media on Monday, he said this.
'Shakib and Tamim have played exactly as they needed. When Gayana was hit on the wicket, he would take wickets. Then the new batsman could not hit. I thought we would win if we were 240. '
After the disappointing Test series, Suman seems to be quite relieved for the Bangladesh team's win in the first match of the one-day series. According to him, Bangladesh played as a Test series is not the real face of Tigers. So, if one or two series is poor, then there is no logic to take the 'Gayo Gola', "he said.
Sumon said, "This win after the Test series is undoubtedly a great relief. We did not play well in the Test series. Everyone knows that this is not our natural cricket. In fact, if a bit of a series is bad, then there are many different ways to start. That's not right. These players have been performing for a long time. '
He added, "I am very happy because we played the best in the format that we did well. Since it is a World Cup ahead, it is very important to do well in this format. Especially confidence will be very useful.
During this time, Shakib-Tamim also talked about batting as well as one of the most successful captains of Bangladesh. According to the condition of Guyana, Bowling has been successful in achieving success. He said, 'If you see we were bowling properly according to the conditions. Guyana's condition is very similar to us. In 2007 we played there. But I was a bit worried about the condition. The bowlers have used the conditions very well. I am very happy with all. '
