The top three batters failed to provide a solid start in any of the innings, with Litton Das being the only one to score a fifty from those positions. While Towhid Hridoy performed well with 153 runs at a strike rate of 128.57, Shakib (111 runs at 106.73 SR) and Mahmudullah (95 runs at 94.05 SR) couldn’t offer enough support in the middle order.
Taskin expressed disappointment with the seniors’ off-form on the field, but praised their team spirit off the field during the 47-day tour. He emphasized the need for a quick recovery and improvement in their performance.
Despite finding better pitches in the West Indies, Taskin mentioned that he had not witnessed such a prolonged batting slump in his ten-year international career with the Bangladesh team.
Taskin highlighted the consistent performance of the bowling unit, especially the impressive displays by Tanzim Hasan and legspinner Rishad Hossain, who were among the top wicket-takers in the tournament. He expressed optimism about the emergence of talented cricketers from Bangladesh.
Reflecting on the disappointing last match against Afghanistan, Taskin acknowledged the team’s collective disappointment and the need to address both the positives and negatives from their T20 World Cup campaign.
