Bangladesh is overwhelmed by Sri Lanka’s run in Chittagong. The Lankans scored 531 runs in the first innings losing all wickets. In two days, Sri Lanka flew in style by batting five and a half sessions. Behind which is the contribution of Bangladesh fielders.
Bangladesh fielders left 8 catches before the all-out of the guests. There is also the regret of missing the runout. Bangladesh batted 15 overs in the last hour and a half. Finished the day with 55 runs for 1 wicket. Still trailing by 476 runs.
There is also a fear of a follow-on over Bangladesh’s head, not being able to score a double hundred in two innings in the previous Test. To save this Test, the batsmen must now take responsibility. Bangladesh camp hopes that the batsmen will take responsibility and give something good to the team.
Batting coach Hemp also said that he has not given up hope of winning yet, ‘We are still playing with the thought of winning. It may sound strange. Because we are behind by 480 runs (actually 476). But for now we have to get through tomorrow. If we can do that, we can handle the next day as well. If I can do that, anything is possible. First, we have to win three sessions tomorrow.’
Hemp calls tomorrow’s morning session the hardest. Zakir and Taijul finished the day. Hemper believes that the batsmen will do well if they can handle the morning of the new day, ‘The new ball is always a threat. The boys are getting plenty of practice with this. What are good decisions? Can take chances to run? Are the feet going forward or backward? Can you bat according to the wicket? The game is always changing. We have to take an honest look at our own performance and take the game forward.’
