Since Bangladesh had won the first two matches, this match was not that important for Bangladesh. So Bangladesh did not give full effort in this match. Bangladesh rested important players like emon, hridoy and Mustafiz today. If Mustafiz was in the squad, Pakistani batsmen would never have been able to score a huge 178 runs on this pitch.
Bangladesh batsmen also did not do well today. If Saifuddin could not play the innings of 35 runs, Bangladesh would have lost by more than 100 runs. However, in this series, I am very upset with Bangladesh captain Liton. We did not see Bangladesh captain batting well in a single match. BCB should rest Liton for a few matches and give a chance to a new player.
Actually, the performance of Bangladesh team today was not as expected at all. Because I thought that since they had already won the previous two matches, they would easily win the third match as well because their dominance was high, because they were playing on their own home ground.
However, I was also surprised that the Pakistani batsmen scored 178 runs on such a bowling-friendly pitch, where they could have scored very normal runs before. Now I feel that if the Pakistan team's batsmen had put in such an effort in the previous match, then it would have been possible for the Pakistan team to win the previous two matches as well.
