Zimbabwe needed 16 runs in the last over. Spinner Mosaddek Hossain will bowl. It may seem that Shakib Al Hasan has forgotten the memory of the India-Pakistan match at the MCG. In that match, Babar Azmar's decision to give Mohammad Nawaz the last over did not work in the end.
The MCG incident may be on Bangladesh's mind.
However, the Bangladesh captain took this risk in the last over after planning in advance against Zimbabwe at the Gabba in Brisbane today. After the match, Mosaddek himself said this to Bangladeshi journalists in the mixed zone. After the 16th over of the innings, Shakib informed Mosaddeq that.
Even if you keep your eyes on the match, you can see something like that.
Zimbabwe needed 46 runs after 16 overs. Then only 1 over was left for Mostafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Shakib, and Mosaddek. Bangladesh spinners have not had a good day on this field in Brisbane.
Shakib and Mosaddek scored 51 runs in the first 6 overs. But at that time, the pair of Shaun Williams and Ryan Barle was eye-catching for Bangladesh. Shakib turned to Mustafiz in the 17th over, bringing in Hasan in the next over.
Shakib brought in Soumya Sarkar at the end against the Netherlands, but today he himself came to bowl the 19th over. He played the bet with Mosaddek Hossain in the last over.
I succeeded in Shakib's plan in the last over. I knew it from the 16th over. Whether to bowl a yorker or a length, there was a difference of opinion before the ball. The field is smaller than the front. If the yorker misses the length, there is a risk of six. That's why I was planning to do a little more on the back of a length. My thoughts were, I will not go beyond the plan given by Shakib bhai.
Even so, Mosaddeq is an erratic bowler. It is normal for the nervous system to be high. But even here, Mossadegh was released by talking to Shakib, "Anything can happen in cricket." I was talking to Saqib Bhai about stress. The pressure was under control after I spoke to him.
Five runs were required from the last ball of the innings. But Mosaddek kept his nerve, but wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan made a mistake. He caught the ball before the stumps to stump Blessing Mujarabani. Instead of stumping, the television umpire gave a no-ball. Even after shaking hands and going to the dressing room, the Bangladesh team had to enter the field again.
Shakib was also under pressure from Nurul with the whole team. The 5-run requirement then came down to 4, meaning a boundary would win Zimbabwe. He said Mosaddek helped him handle the pressure of captain Shakib.
In response to former England captain Michael Atherton's question at the prize distribution ceremony after the match, the Bangladesh captain said, "I have spoken to Mosaddeq. He told me, "No worries. I am fine and will handle everything. " With his words, I calmed down and got relief.
