Masterful Mushfiqur

"I devote this thump to my child; he's only 35 days old," Mushfiqur said at the introduction service after his terrific unbeaten 72-run thump gave a much-wanted five-wicket win at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo yesterday night. 

When he went to the introduction function to get the player-of-the-coordinate honor, the right-hander had quieted down impressively since his wild festivals - he swiped his bat noticeable all around, shouted and replicated his young colleague Nazmul Islam's 'nagin' festivity. 

Without a doubt it was the finest T20I innings by a Bangladeshi and he merits extraordinary praise for the way he fought through issues to agree with his stance to triumph with a 35-ball 72 and a strike rate of 205.71. 

"We required that win severely. Credit goes to the batsmen for holding their nerve. The way Liton and Tamim set it up for us was exceptional. It was a pleasant track to bat on. By the day's end, winning is the most essential. I was simply having issues and ideally will recuperate for the following match," said Mushfiqur.
