Is only 156 runs enough to win? The Bangladesh team's batting line-up is not weak. But the batsmen's performance is erratic. Bangladesh team has the ability to beat England team. If the target was more than 175 then I would definitely say that the England team is going to win the match. But in the T20 format, it is not easy to win by giving a target of 157 runs on such a pitch.
At the end of 2 overs, Bangladesh collected 20 runs. Rony Talukder scored 16 runs off just 8 balls. And Liton Das collected 5 runs. If the two openers are able to play well then Bangladesh can win by batting at a target of 157 runs. Because Shanto, Shakib, and Hridoy are all in good form now.
This is the match Bangladesh fans were waiting to see. Look at the strike rate of Bangladeshi batters today. 120, 150, 170, 141, 141 and 115. Najmul Hossain Shanto made the difference. But Credit goes to all Batters. Everyone contributed to winning the match against the world champions. Moen Ali and Adil Rashid bowled well, and both got one 1wicket each. Their economy was reasonable compared to other English bowlers.
This will give a massive boost to the Bangladesh team, as they are not doing good in this format of cricket. Team Selectors gave a chance to Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain and Rony Talukdar. This is the price of their recent performance In the Bangladesh Premier League. Shanto also played well in BPL.
The main weakness of the Bangladesh team was their batting line-up. There were a lot of talented batsmen in the team, but there was no batsman in the Bangladesh team who was able to perform well on a regular basis. Also, Bangladesh's opening pair did not perform well. The performance of Bangladesh's top order batsmen against England was outstanding. Rony, Shanto, Hridoy and Shakib all batted very well. And that's why they won. Moreover, the Bangladeshi bowlers bowled well in the dead over. I thought England would score at least 50 runs in the last 5 overs. But their collection was only 30 runs in the last 5 overs. This is also one of the reasons for England's defeat.
