The second day has just ended. Still three days left, 9 sessions! Bangladesh in fear of big loss. In such a situation, what will be the goal of the red-green team on the third day?
At the end of the second day on Tuesday (October 22), pacer Hasan Mahmud had such a question. Lakshmipur Express also emphasized the way, ‘I think if we aim for more than 200 runs, we will certainly be able to do it, Insha’Allah.’
In the second innings, Bangladesh scored 101 for 3 wickets. Still behind South Africa by 101 runs. The condition of the team’s batters is the goal of 200 runs actually possible? To such a question, Hasan said, ‘It is possible to bat in 3 sessions tomorrow.’
In other words, the host camp can shoot two hundred or more targets if they can bat for three sessions. At the end of the day, Mahmudul Hasan Jai-Mushfiqur Rahim’s 42-run partnership is expected to be longer.
‘Joy-Mushi are having a great time. Tomorrow, InshAllah, we will try to bat as long as we can, make the pair as big as possible, the next batters should also bat with the same intention, that we can make a big partnership.’
In response to Bangladesh’s 106 runs, South Africa scored 308 runs in the first innings. Kyle Verena scored a century. Hasan took two wickets on the second day. He opened the wicket the previous day. Why are the Bangladeshi batsmen getting out quickly on the wicket where the Protea batsmen are running?
In response to the Proteas’ lead of 202 runs, Bangladesh lost 2 wickets for 4 runs and fell under pressure. Hasan said, ‘Getting out is not under our control. I think it’s more about batting with more focus, being set and batting.’
Even if the bowlers do well, their success is overshadowed by the failure of the batsmen. Even if it feels bad, Hasan expects the batsmen to turn around, ‘It’s normal to feel bad. But I believe from the bottom of my heart that we will turn around again one time. I think the next day will be better. We all hope that our batsmen will play well, we will score, we will all put up a run. In which we can win the match. We should think like this and move forward.’
