Liton's promotion comes up trumps

Bangladesh required something phenomenal close by some keen intending to beat a progression of disillusionments lately and the Bangladesh figure tank did precisely what was required when the Tigers turned out to pursue their most elevated ever add up to in the briefest organization of the amusement yesterday. 

Bangladesh advanced the in-shape Liton Das - who has been in fabulous touch since his great 94 amid the second innings of the primary Test against Sri Lanka a little more than two months back - to an opening space in front of Soumya Sarkar and the choice came up trumps. 

The wicket-manager batsman has demonstrated the best approach to use footwork to the Bangladesh top request and, as Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah Riyad depicted amid the post-coordinate introductions, the Tigers think tank realized that the Sri Lankans would open with an off-spinner as Akila Dhananjaya. 

Liton took advantage of the left-right mix he and Tamim framed; the previous striking the first of his five sixes by descending the track to Dhananjaya and crushing over the mid-wicket district before going ahead to hit a 19-ball 43. 

"We knew they may bowl Akila in the first or second finished, and that is the reason we sent Liton to the highest point of the request," Mahmudullah said after the match at the R Premadasa stadium in Colombo. 

With an aggregate approach, the Bangladesh batsmen conquered the evil presences of their appearing against India when they had played 55 spot balls as they posted the second-most astounding Powerplay score of 74 keeps running in pursue of a mammoth 215, in the end enrolling the fourth-most noteworthy effective pursue in the briefest organization and the most elevated by a group from the subcontinent. 

It was about force, and the Bangladesh batsmen figured out how to keep it all through their pursuit; be it Tamim's 29-ball 47, Soumya Sarkar's 24 off 22 balls, Liton's mind blowing show or Mushfiqur Rahim's vocation best 35-ball 72 which saw the house side's defenders lose their way in the center. 

"We realized that they would think of an off-spinner. That was one reason to advance Liton and that arrangement worked for us. That didn't function admirably for them. You know when you're pursuing 215 you need to basically assault everybody and most likely it was our day. As a batting bunch I am pleased with what we showed today [yesterday]," said Tamim amid the post coordinate question and answer session after the win.
