After winning the first two ODIs against the West Indies in Daputa, captain Tamim Iqbal has announced a change in the third ODI. He said he would play in Chittagong with the cricketers on the bench. Mohammad Saifuddin, a regular member of white ball cricket, sat on the bench for the first two matches. Taskin Ahmed, Mohammad Mithun, Taizul Islam and Afif Hossain also did not play. Now it's their turn to play.
"Cricketers like Taskin and Saifuddin are not in the XI," Tamim said at the awards ceremony after the match at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur today. There is a competitive attitude within the team. Everyone should get a chance to play. Those who did not get the opportunity are all capable of doing well. I’m sure, in the third game we’ll change quite a bit. I hope whoever comes, he will do well. '
Tamim also seemed satisfied with his batting performance in the second ODI. It took Bangladesh 33.2 overs to reach the easy target of 149 runs thrown by West Indies at a cost of three wickets. The highest 50 runs came from Tamim's bat.
Tamim was dismissed for 44 in the first match. There was an opportunity to come after the match that day too. Even today. But with 39 runs away from the team's victory, he had to be caught behind by Ramon Reifer. However, he sees the benefit of spending time on the wicket, ‘I have been able to spend time on the wicket. That has been good for me. '
West Indies captain Jason Mohammad is disappointed to lose the first two matches of the three-match series. Mirpur's wicket is increasing the frustration. Today's wicket was relatively batting-friendly compared to the first ODI. The visiting West Indies could not make a big run by batting even in this wicket.
At the end of the match, Jason Mohamed said, ‘Definitely disappointing. The wicket is relatively better than the previous match. We had to make runs. But that did not happen. Spinners have always been challenging. We lost regular wickets. Couldn't form a pair. That's the main reason for the rate. "
In the second match as well as the first, Rowman Powell defended the West Indies standard. His 41 runs in the West Indies run 148. Opener Yorn Ottley has done well in his debut ODI. Captain Jason Mohammad is looking for something positive in today's match from the performance of these two cricketers.
