It become inside the frame language. Our fielding wasn't that excellent. this can get better soon. "The most critical exercise is to stay in the game and to play the game. regardless of how an awful lot you run or practice, match fitness is something else altogether. whilst you hold playing matches, things turn out to be a lot simpler. no matter what scenario you try to create at exercise, it won't reach that stage," the left-arm spinner said. Shakib become provided guy of the in shape for his all-round performance. After stroking a forty-ball 48, he back with bowling figures of two for 26 off his 10 overs. but, it turned into the go back of the pace duo - Rubel Hossain and Taskin Ahmed - which might have inspired the crew control the most. even as Taskin was suspended for unlawful bowling action in March, Rubel become gambling his first match due to the fact that July 2015. They held their nerves to bowl superbly in the demise and seal the match in Bangladesh's favour.
