Player of the match
Shakib Al Hasan | Bangladesh
We lost a couple of wickets in the middle. The outfield made it hard for the spinners to bowl. We had the belief we will chase it down. In the daytime, it was dry. There was seam and bounce for the seamers.
Today was a day when me and the coaching staff wanted to give the younger guys a chance. But I had to come in. Most of these guys are playing ODI cricket in this squad. They will look to take confidence in the Asia Cup and then the World Cup.
