Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah said on Monday that he is disappointed not to put up a better show against Pakistan in the just concluded three-match Twenty20 international series in Lahore.
Pakistan clinched the series by 2-0 margin courtesy winning the opening two games while the last game of the series was called off due on Monday due to rain.
‘’They are the number one team and we are number nine. But as captain I wanted give a better performance, a better show, which we did not do. Potentially I think, the talent and the potential was there, but we did not execute our skills well enough but we are better than that,’’ Mahmudullah told reporters at Lahore on Monday.
‘’Credit goes to Pakistan cricket team. How they have played. and they were better than us obviously,’’ he said,
‘’Bowlers did well in the first game, and in the second game, batsmen have to take the blame I think because we did not put enough score on the board. So we need to look at the areas we need to improve and play according to the plan. Because this the format we need to keep searching for the momentum and proper guidelines to play consistently well,’’ he said.
‘’Probably in the first game we put little fight but we were little runs short. In the second game they won it convincingly. We need to sit back and watch the areas we can improve on. And probably this is the format we need to keep on improving because we have got a very young team at the moment. We need to give them a bit opportunity and a time to gain experience. And hopefully they can come up with good performances,’’ he said.
