I think the problem in this tour is that Bangladesh team did not prepare on how to play the pacers ZIm currently have. I believe none of the ZIm batters including Sibanda is a better players than TIK, Shakib, Mushy, Ash (his inconsistency aside) or M-Ullah. However Zim bowlers, especially the pacers, are doing a superb job in keeping our top order at bay, and Zim batters are inspired by their bowlers performnace and are riding on the advantage provided by their bowlers, i.e., keeping BD innings below 200. If BD has to win the 3rd ODI, it will take the top order TIK-Imrul-SN-Ash to take the score beyond 150 if batting first. I would want BD to win the toss and field first. I still believe that Bd has a lot more talented bunch in TIK-SN-Ash_Shak, but the team did not prepare for this tour and took them lightly.
Let us remain hopeful for tomorrow crucial game...go Bangladesh go..!
