Chasing a target of 146, Bangladesh lost the third and final T20I against Afghanistan by one run on Thursday, which resulted Shakib Al Hasan-led side succumbed to a 3-0 loss in the series. After the match Shakib admitted that it’s a mental block that led to such poor results.
“I have never batted or bowled in those situations so it is hard for me to answer. But yes I think it is a mental block that we haven’t been able to overcome till now. It would have been good if we could have won the match but going so close and yet falling short is painful.”
“Our performance in the series was not up to the mark. We were found wanting in all the three aspects of the game. In all the three games we did not bat to our potential. We also could have bowled better in the first two matches. The body language and fielding need improvement as it was missing on occasions.”
