My wicket made the difference: calm


Bangladesh lost to Afghanistan by 92 runs in the first ODI of the series due to a disappointing batting collapse. Captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto took the responsibility on his shoulders after the incredible loss. The skipper felt that his wicket was the difference maker in the match.

They were giving a great reply in reply to 236 runs in Sharjah. In the beginning, Tanjid Tamim returned and Shanto made a partnership of 53 runs with Soumya Sarkar for the second wicket. He got the third wicket again with Mehdi Hasan Miraj. He also added 55 runs to that pair. When Shanta was dismissed for 47 runs, this potential pair was broken. Then the team score was 120 runs for 3 wickets. After that, Bangladesh's innings collapsed for 143 runs in 34.3 overs due to unbelievable batting collapse.

After the match, Karan Shant said, 'I think my wicket made the difference in the match. Because I was set. Moreover Miraj, Soumya got out with 30/40 runs. In such conditions it was necessary to bat for a longer time. But this was the main problem in batting today.'

Offspinner Ghazanfor brought the break through in the beginning. Opener Tanjid Hasan took Tamim's wicket. After that, the Afghan spinner bowled his career best. He took 6 wickets for 23 runs. The kind of spin bowling that has made him mystified has also highlighted Bangladesh's failure to read the ball. In response, Shanto said, 'Afghans have always had mysterious spinners. Ghazanfar bowled brilliantly from that spot.'

Bangladesh was able to overcome the Afghans even with the ball. He managed to take 5 wickets for 71 runs. From there, Mohammad Nabi's 84-run fightback pulled them to a challenging score. Shanto also accepted his failure, 'We started well in 15-20 overs. But could not implement the plan in the middle overs. Nabi batted brilliantly. We didn't need to go that far. This wicket has helped the bowlers a lot.'
