Rishad will take us to the PSL final, says franchise owner

4 hrs ago

At the end of the third day of the Dhaka Test, Bangladesh overpowered the West Indies by returning three top-order batsmen.  On the fourth day, Bangladesh set a goal to wrap up the Caribbean innings as soon as possible. Tiger all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz wants to make West Indies all out within 150-200 runs. Windies finished the day with 41 for 3 on board, which is already made the lead of 154 runs.

Even though that would exceed 300 runs. Miraz thinks that run will be easy for Bangladesh to chase.  He is looking forward to senior cricketers.  The spin all-rounder thinks anything can happen if they play well. So he does not want to lose faith.

“Batting on the fifth day in the second innings is always tough. Our only goal is to get them out as soon as possible.  This wicket will be hard to make runs.  Maybe it was easier to run in the first inning.  But in the second inning that will not be the same case.  The ball is turning today [Saturday], it's getting low.  Then it will be very difficult to get runs.  It will be more on the fifth day. The last two days will be more difficult on Mirpur's wicket." he said.

Bangladesh qualify for Women’s ODI World Cup as Windies fall short on NRR

After dominating for four days in the first Test, Bangladesh lost by 3 wickets in the end. It remains to be seen whether the Tigers can turn around as the West Indies did in Chattogram. 

"I think if bowlers can get them all out in 150-200 runs, there will be an opportunity, even then chasing 300 runs will be very difficult for us in this wicket.  But I believe that if we have senior players play their role, anything can happen. What happened in the first Test, we did not even dream of losing the match. We thought we would either win or the match would be a draw. '
