Bangladesh skipper Mashrafee bin Murtaza said that wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim had got over the criticism for his blunder against New Zealand.
As New Zealand were struggling with 61-2 in 11 overs, Williamson who was on 8 then responded a quick single from Ross Taylor, only to find him a mile away from the crease but to the dismay of Bangladeshi fans wicket-keeper Mushfiqur who was closer to wicket dislodged the bails by his elbow before the balls came to his gloves.
Williamson looked rusty but somehow found his way to score an invaluable 40. Indeed it didn’t matter how he made the runs but most importantly he accompanied an inform Taylor, who played a masterful 82 runs knock, to prevent his side from further losing wicket at that stage.
The finally combined for a 105-run partnership for the third wicket, which was instrumental in Kiwis’ two-wicket victory despite the late order collapse.
Mushfiqur who got himself run-out unnecessarily on 19 during batting was trolled by the fans in social media outlet but Mashrafe said there is no point going after Mushfiqur over that blunder.
‘’I think he [Mushfiqur] is totally fine. There is no reason why he should not be normal. Those who work [play] criticism it is bound to happen to them,’’ said Mashrafee.
‘’It is very easy to criticize. Not only Mushfiqur even I could not play to my potential for that matter no one could play to their potential. It is very normal for a player. Mushfiq is fine while the team is also in a good shape,’’ he concluded.
