Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah Riyad waselated the way they batted in the second T20 game despite conceding a 28-rundefeat that cost them the three-match series too.
Mahmudullah believes Bangladesh could come back strongly in the finalmatch if they can take the positives from the batting.
“As a batting unit we can take some positives in this game and come backstrong,” he said after the match.
Bangladesh was restricted to 142-7 in the chase of revised target of 171in 16 overs after the Kiwis put up 173-5 in 17.5 overs in a rain-affectedgame.
“I think there was a bit of confusion because we didn’t know what the DLSscore was, it kept changing on the scoreboard. It can happen in the game,”Mahmudullah said.
“First five overs we were on track but we didn’t finish well enough.Naim and Soumya batted really well. We didn’t capitalize on the balls wemissed. There are some chances that we need to capitalize and we might get awin. Taskin took a brilliant catch that gave us the confidence.
In T20sometimes you get a good start, sometimes you don’t. But both batting andbowling, you must finish well,” he concluded.
