Shakib and Tamim criticize Bangladesh's intention to batting against India
Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal emphasize Bangladesh's issues with subpar batting performances as they express unhappiness over the team's lack of intent in the T20 World Cup encounter against India.
When Shakib reached the crease in the 12th over, Bangladesh needed 121 runs at 14.23 per over. He made 11 off seven balls. He lamented the team's lack of resolve in the tournament's business end, as they scored comparatively poorly against Australia and India, 140 for 8 and 146 for 8, respectively.
Despite batting because appear to be easier than most in this tournament the Antigua pitches the Bangladesh top order's persistently bad form hasn't improved. According to Shakib, they could not even demonstrate that they intended to chase India's 196 runs in this match.
"We have a 50 percent win rate in this World Cup but if we had fought against India and Australia the way we fought against South Africa, we could have called it a good World Cup campaign," Shakib added. "As a batting team, we lack runs. Our last game we made 140, and today we made 146. Given that we had a target in front of us today, we ought to have performed better. We were not even able to demonstrate to others that we were attempting [to pursue the goal] today. The confidence wasn't there, in my opinion. This has been a weakness for us the entire World Cup.
After the game, Tamim, an expert with ESPNcricinfo, claimed that he was taken aback by Bangladesh's lack of intention with the bat against India.
Tamim continued by saying he was taken aback by the Bangladesh team management's choice to start Jaker Ali as the extra batsman against India instead of Taskin Ahmed.
Although Taskin scored a few runs against Australia, he is the team's vice-captain and is regarded as the leader of the bowling attack.
Tamim believed that Tanzim should have been permitted to continue using the new ball because he was handling it well in the prior games.
He also believed that not giving the new ball to Mustafizur Rahman was a lost chance to counter Rohit Sharma's alleged vulnerability to left-arm pace.
According to Tamim, the country's pitches prevent even their premier T20 competition, the Bangladesh Premier League, from producing thrilling cricket. He claimed that Bangladeshi cricket's win-first (at home) mentality has left the batsmen in the dust.
For the batters to get better and the bowlers to learn how to bowl on quality batting surfaces, he advised being patient with better pitches.
