Shanta played an innings of 44 runs

Although the first ODI was rained out, Bangladesh’s batting is questionable. Runs at Chelmsford are usually around 300′. However, the visiting team could not cross the quota of 250 on the day of failure of the batters. Nazmul Hossain Shanto is responsible for not being a big pair.

Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehdi Hasan Miraj have tied the biggest pair for Bangladesh. These two together scored 65 runs in the sixth wicket. Apart from this, Shanto and Tauhid Hriday added 50 runs for the fourth wicket. Mushfiq played the highest innings of 61 runs for Bangladesh. 44 runs came from Shanta’s bat. Equal 27 runs came from the bats of Mirage and Hriday.

In the press conference about the pair, Shanto said, “Usually 290 to 300 runs are scored in this field.” We didn’t think about this when we started batting. We tried to understand the wicket. That’s how I thought of playing. Although we did not have a big pair. If it was, we could have made a good run.’

Shanta also said, ‘Let’s talk about today’s match. The situation would not have been like this if I had been able to grow the few pairs that did occur. I think the situation could have been different if the top batsmen had batted with a little more responsibility.’
