Mahmudullah Riyad: The last of Bangladesh’s ‘Big Five’ calls it a day
12 Mar 25
Bangladesh, for all they had plenty of support at Eden Gardens in what is a Bengali-speaking region of India, were "sloppy" in the field according to Tigers captain Shakib Al Hasan and even worse with the bat.
Shakib, who scored just five runs in the match, said that their performance with the bat against the Netherlands was 'as bad as it gets'.
"I thought we bowled really well but we were sloppy in the field. We should have restricted them to 160-170 from the position we were in. But we have been poor with the bat all tournament and this is as bad as it gets," said star all-rounder Shakib, appearing in his fifth World Cup.
"Throughout the tournament we have been struggling, I don't know what's on the players' minds," he added.
Bangladesh still have three matches left in their World Cup campaign, against Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia.
