Our poor execution cost us the game: Mahmudullah

block

BSS, Dhaka :
Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah Riyad admitted that they failed to execute their plan properly, especially in the bowling, which was instrumental in their 35-run loss to West Indies in the second T20I game at Windsor Park in Dominica on Sunday.
 The first match was washed out due to persistent rain, meaning the West Indies lead the three-match series 1-0.
 “We couldn’t bowl the way we wanted to do,” Mahmudullah said after the game. “Our execution was not good enough and it cost us the game.”
 West Indies, which opted to bat first, racked up a hefty 194-5 with Rovman Powell literally taking the game away with a whirlwind 28 ball-61 not out. Bangladesh were restricted to 158-6 after Shakib Al Hasan battled lonely to make 68 not out.
 “We didn’t start well with the ball up front. In the middle overs, we took a couple of wickets, but in the end, Rovman took the momentum away from us. And with the bat we didn’t do well too,” Mahmudullah remarked.
