Tamim Iqbal was happy with the team’s performance as they finally secured a win after 10 losses in a row, although the pitch wasn’t easy to bat on. The batsmen Mahamadullah, Rahim, and Affif played crucial roles as despite losing regular wickets the runs were flowing pretty easily. Mehidy Hasan was the star with the bowl. Man of the Match was awarded to Mushfiqur Rahim.
After a disappointing loss, Kusal Perera will focus on the positives from this game as the bowlers were in good strengths. It was Hasaranga’s 50 which kept them in the game besides Udana and Shanaka. They gave Sri Lanka a chance but the other batters failed to perform up to the mark. They will look to strengthen these areas going forward in the series
