Liton Das, the Bangladeshi batter, bemoaned the truth that his group lacks the power-hitting capacity and that it could possibly be a significant factor of their poor performances sooner or later run. He feels that if they don’t enhance on this space of the sport, it might be a setback for the group on this 12 months’s T20 World Cup which is ready to start in October in Australia.
Within the third and ultimate T20I of the three-match collection towards West Indies, Bangladesh have been in a position to rating 163 for 5 due to Das’ 41-ball 49 and Afif Hossain’s 38-ball 50, however the Windies hitters demonstrated why that sort of complete was insufficient on a robust hitting-friendly floor. Das feels that the power-hitting half was what bit them of their five-wicket loss towards the hosts.
“Nobody in our group is as highly effective as [Kyle] Mayers – they [West Indies batters] can clear huge grounds at will. We’re not able to it. We at all times take into consideration hitting fours. They hit extra sixes. That is the distinction that at all times exists. We’re behind a lot of the huge groups within the T20s. We’ve lots to work on. We actually can’t play highly effective cricket,” Das was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
The one factor we are able to do is play plenty of matches: Liton Das
Whereas West Indies hit 23 fours within the collection, Bangladesh have been one step forward, hitting 31 fours. However when in comparison with the variety of sixes hit by each the groups within the collection, the hosts have been means forward of the guests, as West Indies batters hit a complete of 21 sixes, which have been six greater than what Bangladesh had managed.
“There’s at all times discuss of T20 being a recreation of abilities, approach, and ways, however I really feel power-hitting is required generally. We will probably be enjoying the World Cup in a rustic the place the grounds are huge. It can damage us. The one factor we are able to do is play plenty of matches in order that we are able to go into the event with confidence,” mentioned Liton.
Within the latest T20I match, Bangladesh did not defend the goal of 164 runs because the West Indies power-hitters Nicholas Pooran and Kyle Mayers anchored the innings and accomplished the chase after the guests picked three early wickets. West Indies went on to win the Check collection in addition to the T20I collection by 2-0.
