The Bangladeshi captain said the wickets in the second match were relatively good. In the daylight, the ball went up and down in the first innings, but in the the flat light, the bowlers had a difficult task. But the Bangladeshi spinners kept the New Zealand batsmen down from the start of the innings with control bowling. Bangladeshi's three spinners bowled 11 overs and took five wickets for 56 runs.
Shakib Al Hasan took two wickets for 29 runs in four overs, Sheikh Mehedi Hasan took two wickets for just 12 runs in four overs. Another spinner Nasum Ahmed got one wicket with 16 runs in three overs. Mustafizur Rahman also bowled well in the first three overs. In the last over, the pacer gave 16 runs but kept the nerves under pressure and ensured the victory of the team.
Mahmudullah said, "I think the wicket was much better today than in the previous match. When we were batting during the day, there was a little spin and the ball was going up and down. I think the bowlers bowled very well. This wicket brought victory with 140 runs. The big credit for winning the match goes to the bowlers. '
Mahmudullah gave the credit for the victory to the bowlers but did not forget to praise the two openers Naeem Sheikh and Liton Das. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first. The two openers scored 59 runs in the opening partnership. Liton played a great innings of 33 runs from 28 balls. And Naeem's score 39 runs from 39 balls .
It is always difficult to bat on this wicket with new balls. After seven matches, Bangladesh got fifty in the opening match today. The opening pair of the two teams failed in every match of the last Australia series. However, today they had to play 58 balls to form a pair of 59 runs. However, because of the wicket, the partnership of Liton and Naeem seemed great to Mahmudullah.
"I think it's very difficult to bat on this wicket as it is new," he said. When the seam of the ball is very stiff. Then bounces, sharpens some balls. Naeem and Liton batted well. The kind of start we needed in Power Play, has brought the perfect start. There was a good partnership. We have had some good partnership in the middle. '
The Bangladesh captain added, "As I said earlier, it is very difficult to bat with a new ball in this wicket. Australia saw in the series that they have no successful pair in the opening. We may have had a match. The way Liton and Naeem played today was great.
'After winning the first two matches of the five-match T20 series, Bangladesh took a 2-0 lead in the series. Winning the third match will ensure a series win for the hosts. The third match is not just about winning the series; Another important reason for Mahmudullah. The Bangladesh captain will be the first Bangladeshi to play the 100th T20 on that day.
Although there is no separate plan for the 100th match, Mahmudullah said that he wants to play his 100th T20 match by contributing to the team's victory. "There is no separate plan," he said. My goal is to contribute to the team all the time. If I am fit, I will try to contribute to the team's victory in my 100th match. '
It is good to know that Bangladesh will take the field in the third T20 of the series against New Zealand on October 5. The match will start at 4 pm.
When it came to the wicket at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, New Zealand captain said, "If there is a good wicket, the game will be good." Just like today. '
Latham said at the end of the match, ‘We have learned from the first match, we have improved. I was able to form a pair, I pulled the match to the end. If bowling had been a little better, we could have won. But the way we batted will be an inspiration for the team. '
Latham also seemed satisfied with his batting. Latham already had a reputation for playing well against spin. Only Latham once again showed his spin skills in the unbeaten innings of career-high 65 runs yesterday. "My job is to bat the whole innings," Latham said of his batting. The rest will try to bat aggressively. That's what I did. And if you want to hit, you have to take wickets in T20. I am proud to be able to take the match to the end. '
