Bangladesh has lost the series against New Zealand with one match left as they were defeated in the second ODI by 5 wickets. After the match, Tiger captain Tamim Iqbal said he was disappointed for not winning the match on Tuesday [March 23].
Despite scoring 271 runs and batting better than the previous match, Bangladesh lacked in fielding, missed several catches in the match which costed them untouchable victory.
“We should've won this game. Bowler created chances, we couldn't hold on. They dropped catches, you know. When a situation comes, you have to do things 100%. Disappointed today. Batters did really well. It was a different surface, a bit slow, 271 was a decent score. And when the chances came, we couldn't hold on. Quite disappointing. Mithun was fantastic, Mushi was well. Anyway, I thought it was a much improved game. We are not here to improve our cricket but to win,” said Tamim.
Mushfiqur Rahim missed an important catch of James Neesham at a very crucial moment of the game also Sheikh Mahedi dropped the catch of the Kiwi captain Tom Latham. There were many mis-fieldings spotted during the match. Tamim felt really disappointed with the fielding as they missed two chances, however, he also added players don’t miss catches willingly.
“People will drop catches. It hurts. If we took our two chances, it was game on. People don't miss catches willingly, it happens to everyone. When the next chance comes, we need to grab it with both hands. We just have to be positive in Wellington and give a crack to them again,” he added.
