TIL Desk Sports/ Bangladesh stunned Pakistan by 37 runs in the last Super Four match on Wednesday night to set up a summit clash with defending champions India. “We always know that India are a serious side and the number one side the world. We still need to improve a bit of our batting and bowling,” Mortaza said after the match.
“We will be missing Shakib (Al Hasan) and Tamim (Iqbal) but the boys have showed character and one match to go, and hopefully the boys will play hard,” he added. Shakib flew back to Bangladesh after aggravating a finger injury, while Tamim was ruled out of the Asia Cup after fracturing his hand in the opening match.
Praising his team for the crucial win, Mortaza said, “The bowlers did a good job, especially when we didn’t get the runs. I think we changed our combination a bit. Usually I open the bowling, but today we started with (Mehidy Hasan) Miraz.” “Mushi (Mushfiqur Rahim) and (Mohammad) Mithun batted really well.” Mortaza’s blinder of a catch at mid-wicket to dismiss Shoaib Malik off Rubel Hossain’s bowling in the 21st over was one of the turning points of the match.
