T20 cricket, according to Donald, is a 24-ball conundrum for the bowlers

The fast bowling trio of Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, and Taskin Ahmed from Bangladesh were criticised for leaking runs in the first game as they combined for a collective economy of 11.41 while giving up 137 runs in their combined 12 overs. In the end, Zimbabwe scored a record total of 205 and won the match by a margin of 17 runs to take the early lead in the series. Taskin did not participate in the second T20I, which Bangladesh won by seven wickets to tie the series. Mustafizur and Shoriful had a collective economy rate of 8.38.f

The T20 format, according to Bangladesh’s bowling coach Allan Donald, is a 24-ball riddle that requires the bowlers to be super wise to succeed. “The other day, South Africa was defeated by England and was all out for only 90 runs. T20 is a game like that, one that teaches you hard lessons. And I see a 24-ball puzzle in this game that you have to figure out, and that’s being super wise “Donald remarked.

“We are emphasising this and imparting it to our students. I don’t think it matters what kind of squad you are on; I think the modest steps are what count. We got off to a good start yesterday. We need to do it on Tuesday as well since we shown how shrewd we are and are hoping to recover as we did in the game on Sunday. Look, the final will be played tomorrow on the same field as the first game, and I’m looking forward to it since it should be a great game “said he.

Donald expressed his admiration for fast bowler Hasan Mahmud’s composure. In 2020, against Zimbabwe, the right-arm quick made his international debut but was had to sit out owing to an injury. He spent over a year recovering before returning to domestic cricket through Bangladesh’s list A league, the Dhaka Premier League. He then returned to international cricket in the second T20I match against Zimbabwe, earning 1-26 in his four overs.

“Given how much I had heard about Hasan Mahmud, I was very pleased with him. The things I appreciate about him are his entire persona and his calm temperament, and he demonstrated remarkable competence.
