In a bid to bounce back from the losing way, Mahmudullah XI will take on Tamim XI in the second match of the BCB President’s Cup today (Tuesday) at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, reports BSS.
The match which starts at 1.30 PM, will be streamed live on the official facebook page of BCB and Youtube Channel. While it will be the second match for the Mahmudullah XI, led by Mahmudullah Riyad, it will be the opening match for Tamim Iqbal-led Tamim XI. Mahmudullah Riyad’s side conceded a four-wicket defeat to Nazmul Hossain Shanto-led Nazmul XI on Sunday after showing a pretty ordinary batting display. Therefore it is an important match for the Mahmudullah XI to keep them in the track of the final. Though it’s a double-leg tournament, another defeat would hamper Mahmudullah XI’s aspiration to seal the final severely.
Tamim XI also wants to win the match to make a decent start in the tournament. In fact, Tamim said, his target is to clinch the trophy and therefore a good start would make them upbeat. “We will try to win the trophy but for that we have to come up with our best,” Tamim said a few days ago “What is imperative is to perform on the ground, that’s the main thing.
The team which will play better cricket in the ground, they will come out as winners.
So our target is to play our best cricket,” he added.
Tamim said he would miss the spectators, who could cheer for them. “I would miss the spectators but again it is important to follow the Covid-19 rules.”
