Bangladesh beat England by 4 wickets
Bangladesh have won the series by going 2-0 up but join us back for the final match on 14th March at 2.30 pm IST (9 am GMT) and earlier for the build up. Till then, cheers!
Shakib Al Hasan says they bowled really well, the spinners restricted England well but overall a good team effort. Adds Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan played really well.
Mehidy Hasan is the Player of the Match. He says he is happy to play the match after some time and was a bit confused but credits staff to back him up. Adds the pitch was assisting the spinners so he tried to keep the ball in the right areas.
Jos Buttler says it was a different game of cricket but credits to Bangladesh for the way they played. Adds it was a tough wicket to bat on and he hoped someone to stick till the end. Applauds the performance of his bowlers as they gave their all.
...Presentation next...
The pitch was tough to bat on and England were a victim on it. The home team knew the pitch and bowled accordingly keeping England down to a below-par score. Mehidy Hasan claimed four and was the pick of the bowlers but it was their fielding which lifted Bangladesh up. Jos Buttler surely didn't see this coming at the start of the match.
What a win! Bangladesh will be full of confidence after this series win. They had a low score to chase and to be honest, we thought, Bangladesh will chase down it easily but England took it down the wire however Najmul Hossain Shanto played a vital knock. He just stayed there till the end and anchor the innings.. It did feel like England will defend this but Taskin Ahmed hammered their hopes. You cannot blame the English bowlers much, they had a low score to defend and they tried their best.
History has been created! Bangladesh have outplayed England not just in this match but in both matches. England would have given a real fight had they got 20-30 runs more. Credit to Bangladesh though for the way they bowl.
