To chase a mammoth odd 320+ they should have had an accute game plan to follow. Dropping Z was a mess to say the least. Above all, Shakib's decision to field first stunned me. You dont have to be a cricket prudent to understand the fact that it was the same flat wicket where they capitalized odd 320 while batting first the other day and it is a default choice to bat first again and again everytime you win the toss.
Hopefully they have had enough time to go back to drawing board and get their facts right before the 4th match.
Way to go Tigers! You deserve to wrap up the series with 4-1!
