Mirpur: Bangladesh not only won the second ODI against India by six wickets, they also lifted the three-match series by winning the first two matches comprehensively. Terming it to be a great moment, Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza the series has been significant and they hope to keep performing like this.
“To be playing in the Champions Trophy is a big achievement for us. Every time we were shaken someone took over. That is a big thing. Mustafiz has been performing very well. It has been very significant and with many series coming up, hopefully we can keep performing like this,” said Mortaza.
Meanwhile, disappointed with his team’s performance, Indian skipper MS Dhoni said, “It's pretty simple to see what went wrong. We need to put runs on the board. We didn't get to a good start and whenever there was a partnership, we lost two wickets together. You have to take risks in such a game, but if you keep losing two wickets in a row, it becomes difficult to do so.”
He added, “If you have 200 on the board, it is quite easy for the other teams to chase. So I won't blame the bowlers for this game. We as batsmen got starts but we didn't make it big. Bangladesh are bowling well as a unit.”
Man-of-the-match Mustafizur Rahman said he was very happy withhis performance. "My team-mates helped me a lot. Thanks to the crowd too for turning up despite the rain. I want to bowl even better in the third ODI," said the bowler.
