Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan will by and by need to demonstrate the excitement to battle against the short ball. Mosaddek Hossain, Imrul Kayes and Sabbir Rahman additionally looked generally agreeable against that length in the arrangement opener, yet should be more patient in observing themselves through the underlying roughhousing.

Bangladesh’s greater concern will be their knocking down some pins in high-scoring Nelson, particularly after they surrendered 341 keeps running in the principal amusement. Mashrafe Mortaza and his pace-knocking down some pins gather need to bowl better lengths, while Shakib could be given an expert spinner to accomplice given the slower way of this pitch.
