The Bangladesh team is not at ease in any format. The Tigers are even failing to fight. In such a situation, a victory is like a small relief. Bangladesh has completely crushed Sri Lanka in the second T20 of the three-match series.
Shamim Patwary came to the press conference after the 83-run win. He was asked whether the run-out of Kusal Mendis at the beginning of the innings was the game-changer of the match.
In response to such a question, Shamim said, 'Yes, of course, now we have won, it is 1-1 now. Fielding is very important for us. It is actually nothing to be too happy about. It is my job every day.'
Later, Shamim said about his goal of winning the series, "Of course, we lost the ODI series. Now it's 1-1. We have a chance to win the series. Hopefully, if we can do well, we will definitely win the series, God willing. Of course, there is always confidence (to win). Changes (in the team's XI) are made for the good of the team. It feels good to have been able to win."
Shamim said about his batting plan, "When I go out to bat, my plan is always to stay positive. Someone has to take the risk. So I take the risk myself and take the responsibility. I always like ABD's (AB de Villiers) batting. I always try to stay positive. I think the more positive I stay in this T20 game, the better."
Incidentally, Bangladesh got a big capital of 177 runs by batting first. Shamim played a tornado innings of 48 runs in 27 balls towards the end. The first wicket of the Sri Lankans who came out to reply was a run out. Shamim ran out Kusal Mendis, who was in great form throughout the series, with a great throw. Sri Lanka was all out for just 94 runs due to the bowling skills of the bowlers. Bangladesh has taken a royal victory by 83 runs.
