Bangladesh failed to give a big target as usual. A target of 155 runs cannot be a big target in T20 matches these days. Bangladesh needed to give a target of at least 180 +. But Bangladesh could not give a big target. Except opener Parvez Emon, no other batsman could do well. Although Naim could play an innings of 32 runs, he batted at a strike rate of only 110.
Bangladesh will not improve on their batting weakness. Like the Test and ODI series, Bangladesh will lose the T20 series as well, it is certain. It is not surprising if Bangladesh does not win even a single match. It is not possible for Bangladesh to win against them at Sri Lanka's home ground with such bad batting.
Sri Lanka had scored 99 runs in 9 overs. I thought the match would be over within 15 overs. But due to the slow batting of Kusal Perera and ABhishek, Sri Lanka had scored 159 runs in 19 overs. The match was completely under Sri Lanka's control. So even though they batted slowly, the team did not face any problem. The second match will be held on July 13 in Dambulla. I do not expect anything better from the Bangladesh team.
