At the point when we play on wickets that twist, we certainly have the capability to bowl sides out however at that point our batsmen can be tested too. Assuming you need to foster trust in our batting line-up, you need to get our batting numbers up. It is a predicament. Bangladesh seamers battle generally on great wickets. Our hitters appear to battle on turn wickets,” Domingo said after the fourth day’s play.

Mominul put Bangladesh’s loss down to a top request breakdown in the two innings and acknowledged his job in the disappointment. In the principal innings, Bangladesh had been down to 49 for 4 preceding Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim drove a fine recuperation. In the subsequent innings, when it made a difference more, they were down to 43 for 5 without having the option to plot a rebound.
