Bangladesh fight to save series in Jamaica
Bangladesh fight to save series in Jamaica
Bangladesh lost the first Test in Antigua due to poor bowling but failed to bat. The last Test was played at Sabina Park in Jamaica almost three years ago. Bangladesh last played at this ground in 2018. Bangladesh is ready to correct its mistakes after going to Jamaica from Antigua.
Bangladesh is also afraid of the comparatively batting-friendly wicket at Sabina Park with that batting. If the batters can do something good, the visitors can expect positive results in the second Test. The second and final Test of the two-match Test series will begin today at 9 pm Bangladesh time.
The Bangladesh team played two Tests at Sabina Park in 2004 and 2018. Bangladesh lost the first match by an innings and 99 runs. In the last match by 166 runs.
The absence of Mushfiqur Rahim and Nazmul Hossain Shantor is coming to the fore on the tour. Both are not on this tour due to injuries. In their absence, Mehedi Hasan Miraj has to rely on many newcomers in the batting order.
Mominul Haque, Liton Das, Mehedi Hasan Miraj and Zaker Ali showed determination in the first Test. But despite settling down, they could not put up a big innings. Right-arm pacer Taskin Ahmed took the highest eight wickets in the match. The bowlers' achievements were tarnished by the failure of the batters. Bangladesh lost by a big margin of 201 runs on the fifth day of the match.
Bangladesh's performance in Antigua was better than the previous two Tests. Changes in Bangladesh's XI can be seen in the pace attack. Speed star Nahid Rana can be seen in the XI. Apart from that, there is little possibility of changes in other departments.
Bangladesh's acting captain Miraj said after arriving in Jamaica, 'We should have played better in the first Test. But we couldn't. We made several mistakes in that match. We will correct those mistakes and enter the field.' Miraj took seven wickets in the match on his last tour to this ground.
Sabina Park wickets always have a lot of runs. England scored 849 runs on this ground in 1930. In total, there have been 13 innings of scores above 500 at this ground. Three over 700! Bangladesh's highest score at this ground is 284. Bangladesh scored this run in 2004. There is a possibility of rain for the next five days at Sabina Park from today. Pakistan has won one and West Indies one in the last two matches at this ground.
