"Litton is a brilliant tactician"- Salahuddin backs new T20I captain
13 hrs ago
Tamim Iqbal, Bangladesh's captain, was understandably frustrated with his team's collapse in the 'dead rubber', which resulted in the loss of ten crucial Super League points.
Bangladesh lost the final One-Day International by seven wickets, ending the series 2-1. Despite the fact that the series was already decided, Tigers were still striving for Super League points.
"Very disappointed today, We were in a similar position against Sri Lanka as well, where we couldn't win the last game after going 2-0 up. We played well in the middle but lost rhythm towards the end," Tamim said in the post-match presentation.
"I thought this was the most important game in the series. Although we won the series, it is all about getting points," he added.

Tamim made no attempt to justify their defeat as he could only blame his batters. Tamim showed frustration on Rahmanullah Gurbaz missed chances, who bagged 106 runs off 110 balls.
"No excuses at all. When were batting, the ball was doing a bit in the first 20 overs. We did all the hard work and then got out. Credit must go to the way Gurbaz batted, he gave chances but we didn't hold on," he added.
Tamim also pondered the timing of Liton's wicket, who was on his way to an 86-run innings before exiting. When Liton left, the Tigers were 153 for 5, and the hosts could only add 39 more runs.
"I thought Liton also got out at the wrong time. He was going well and was the man in form," he concluded.
