Shubman said after the match
The first century at the ICC event gave me great pleasure. I and Rohit were getting difficult in the beginning, the ball was not coming to the bat easily. He overtook the pacers and played shots. It seemed difficult to take a single against spinners. At one time the pressure had increased, then the dressing room was told that a batter would have to be fixed. Both Six gave me confidence in the innings.

4. Turning point
After winning the toss, the Bangladesh team lost 5 wickets for 35 runs in the first 10 overs. Soumya Sarkar, Captain Najmul Hussain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim could not even open an account. This proved to be the turning point of the match, as the team could not score a big score after a bad start.
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hussain Shanto said
During the batting, bad batting in the first powerplay snatched the match from us. Recovery from lower order is difficult after falling 5 wickets. Heart and Zakir batting well. The ball was wandering, so both of them batting in difficult situations. During the fielding, we left catch and lost the runout opportunities. Mahmudullah became Inzard, we did not even do bowling. Initially taking wickets, it would have been a chance to win the match.
Rohit said- the pitch will remain slow even further
You have to be confident before the game. Pressure comes in the run chase, then different emotions come. You have to be ready. KL and Gill did not allow the pressure to grow until the end. Can’t say much about the pitch. There was not much grass, so the pitch was expected to slow down. We showed better games during batting and bowling as team. Happy for Shami, he was waiting for a long time. Whenever they get the ball, they do something. Gill is a class batter. They have been doing good batting for some time. Staying till the end is a sign of good batter. The catch of the hat -trick of the letter was easy, I should have caught it. Heart and Zakir made a big partnership. The pitch is expected to remain the same in the matches ahead. Only on 23 will know how the pitch will be behaved.
