CRICKET-MASHRAFE
Still need to improve and maintain consistency: Mashrafe
DHAKA, July 29, 2018 (BSS)- Bangladesh managed to stage a comeback in
their favorite format of ODI series after their horrific Test series defeat
against West Indies but Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Bin Mortaza still thinks
they have rooms to improve and need more consistency which can lead them earn
more future successes.
If you look back at the last three or four months, we really needed to win
this series,” said the Narail express after the match adding that: “It is a
good sign for the team ahead of the Asia Cup. But we have a lot to improve
…… a series win isn’t everything …… we have missed out on a lot of
areas. Rubel did exactly what the team needed, which is a sign of our
improvement but we need them consistently…..we need to improve in our
batting as well.
“I think we were still short by 20-25 runs ….we should have taken an
early wicket because they have a heavy top order. After getting rid of Lewis
early meant that Gayle had a bigger challenge. He was going well but Rubel’s
breakthrough eased it for the rest of the bowlers. Getting regular wickets
worked in our favour, he added.
He said they needed to use this last opportunity to win the series and
this victory was a turning point for their mental strength.
