Mehidy Hasan Miraz (Bangladesh Captain): "Yeah, definitely, it was a tough day for our bowlers. We batted very well, though. Our batters built partnerships, especially Soumya, Mahmudullah, and Jaker, who finished strongly. That said, as a bowling unit, we could have performed better. Unfortunately, we fell short, particularly in the middle overs, where we didn’t execute our plans effectively. That was definitely an area where we struggled.
Yeah, definitely. You know, we're missing some senior players in this series due to injuries. A lot of key players aren't available, so I have to take more responsibility, especially in the number four position. Back-to-back wickets have been a problem, but we need to take on more responsibility. If we had managed to get 100, we would have been in a good position, but unfortunately, we couldn't do that. Still, I am trying my best.
Mahmudullah has been playing for a long time and has scored three fifties in this series. It was also an opportunity for the younger players to step up and take responsibility, but they couldn't quite manage. After this series, we have the Champions Trophy coming up. There will be good wickets during that tournament, so hopefully, we can continue improving."
