Litton urges turnaround after another disappointing defeat
3 hrs ago
Mohammad Mithun was able to score an unbeaten 73 off 56 balls against New Zealand, the highest in his ODI career. In this way, Bangladesh got a rich collection of 271 runs. Although it did not save the last, they lost by 5 wickets. However, he is happy with his batting today.
“I’m happy with the way I batted. I think it helped my team. I tried ball to ball. We all know the conditions in New Zealand are difficult for us. So it is difficult to run if you play more slowly. So I played with the ball and tried to stay positive” said Mithun.
No one has a record of winning by chasing more than 260 runs at this ground in Christchurch (Hagley Oval). Bangladesh scored 271 runs there. But even then, Tamim’s team did not come out of the circle of defeat in New Zealand soil. The reason behind the same result, sloppy fielding was the reason for today’s match.

“271 is a good score to defend. The wicket is also a little tough. There was a good chance to win the match but mistakes in fielding have costed us the match. Everyone is looking for a way to come back after a bad match in Dunedin. Everyone has forgotten the past and tried to give their best. We wanted to come back strong but we had to pay the price for bad fielding,”
However, this middle order is not losing hope. He said in advance that it wouldn’t be difficult for them to win the third ODI if they give their best.
“As a team, we definitely want to win at least one match. We think if we win at least one match, it will be a big success for us. We still have one match left, we will try our best. Maybe we will get different results in the new match.”
The third and final match of the series will be played on March 26 in Wellington.
