Bangladesh was satisfied with their bowling performance, while trying unsuccessfully to defend their low score of 127 in their Asia Cup opening match against Afghanistan, but would prefer another 10-15 runs, according to Mosaddek Hossain. Afghanistan lost an early wicket before completing a seven-wicket victory with nine balls to spare as Ibrahim Zadran and Najibullah Zadran remained unbeaten.
Bangladesh now has to beat Sri Lanka in a do-or-die game on Thursday and has little time for a turnaround. Mosaddek, who top-scored with an unbeaten 48 off 31, said the make-up of Bangladesh’s spin attack was such that they were limited in their approach, and the fast bowlers needed to step onto the Sharjah pitch that needed to be kept low. was the trend.
“Afghanistan has one of the best spin attacks in the world,” Mosaddek said
“Afghanistan has one of the best spin attacks in the world,” Mosaddek said. “When you take that into account, we don’t have a big spinner. We don’t have a wrist spinner. We’re all conservative spinners. We didn’t lose this game for not picking enough spinners. It was a tough one to hit. Tough length ball. It was not wrong to play with three fast bowlers. I think it was good enough for us to push them as we defended a total of 127.”

Bangladesh was at 89 for 6 before Mossadek’s career-best innings included only six of the innings, giving them a more respectable total. He said that they wanted to take more wickets in the last five overs when they were 87 for 5.
“We were less than 10 or 15,” he said, “if we had scored 140 the situation would have been different. When you lose two or three wickets in the powerplay it is always difficult to settle the match.
Mosaddek defended his fast bowling teammates Mustafizur Rahman and Mohammad Saifuddin, who scored 17 and 22 respectively when Afghanistan needed 43 off 24 balls.
“You always expect an over or two to go for 20 runs in a T20. We tried to reduce the runs as much as possible in the next over. We didn’t execute it well.”
