Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah said on Saturday that he is confident that his batsmen can leave their mark in the ongoing three-match Twenty20 series.
When it comes to their batting, the lack of big hitters has only hurt them more. Only Liton Das strikes it at more than 135 (among those with a minimum of 100 runs) since the last T20 World Cup and that's one of the key reasons why Bangladesh have won only 33 per cent of their games since then. Mahmudullah too admitted their batting remains a work in progress.
"The new players have our backing and I am confident they'll do well. They are under pressure but whenever you play international cricket, you have to walk in knowing there will be pressure. I am very hopeful that we've got it in us,’’ Mahmudullah said ahead of the series opener at Arun Jatley Stadium on Sunday.
‘’We have a few guys who bat in the top order. There are a few players who bat in the middle order but they can bat at the top as well. That's a good ability to have and I am hopeful we can execute well as batsmen. I personally feel there's more pressure on the batsmen. I am not too concerned about our bowling but at this point, our focus is on the batting unit."
