When Sambal is 131 runs, then fighting is a big thing in T20. That was also the goal of Bangladesh. The message to the bowlers was, to dot as much as possible.
Nasum Ahmed not only succeeded in trying that dot ball, this left-arm spinner has played a key role in crushing Australia with 4 wickets for 19 runs.Nasum played only one match in the last tour of Zimbabwe. He scored 36 runs in 3 overs. However, the day before the first match against Australia, head coach Russell Domingo said that Nasum will play. He also reminded me to take extra responsibility. Nasum also took it. Mahmudullah brought Nasum in the second over after Mehdi Hasan got the wicket in the first ball of the innings. Nasum was successful in the first over.
Nasum said that before going down to the field, captain Mahmudullah had said that he should bowl more and more dot balls. He said to try as much as I can by dot ball. I was thinking of that dot ball. 'Batting for this wicket at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Stadium was not easy. The ball was slowly coming to the bat naturally. However, Josh Philippe hit a six off Nasum's second ball.
Shakib told him to be a little more aggressive, ‘When I bowled the first two balls at back of length, Shakib Bhai told me, slow ball is better in this wicket. And it is better to do a little further. So that's what I tried. '"The only concern for the Australian team was that we would win," said Nasum. Yesterday I was praying, God, we haven't won a match yet. Let's win this time. So we all tried together, Alhamdulillah, I succeeded. '
Nasum also has the best bowling figure for Bangladesh in the T20 against Australia. He has surpassed Shakib. In 2016, Shakib took 3 wickets for 26 runs in Bridgetown.
