Bangladesh
tasted
success
in
the
T20
World
Cup
2022
at
the
Bellerive
Oval
in
Hobart
on
Monday
(October
24),
as
their
pacers
led
the
show
to
hand
them
a
nine-run
win
over
the
Netherlands,
defending
a
modest
145.
“It
was
an
important
win,
I’ve
played
all
editions
but
haven’t
won,
that
was
on
the
back
of
my
mind,”
the
Bangladeshi
skipper
said
after
their
victory.
Taskin
Ahmed
returned
with
career-best
figures
of
4/25,
while
his
rookie
new
ball
partner
Hasan
Mahmud
played
a
perfect
foil,
to
finish
with
4-1-15-2.

to
opening
win
over

The
seasoned
Mustafizur
Rahman,
who
was
struggling
of
late,
returned
wicket-less
but
he
too
was
at
his
tidy
best
(4-0-20-0)
in
the
back
end,
as
the
Dutch
folded
for
135
in
exactly
20
overs.
“The
way
our
pacers
bowled
was
tremendous.
We
understand
the
importance
of
fast
bowling
now,
across
formats,”
Shakib
said.
“We’ve
found
talent.
Hasan’s
new,
Taskin’s
developed
well
in
the
past
few
years.
He
has
the
experience
and
pace.”
The
pace
bowlers
are
coached
by
South
African
great
Allan
Donald,
while
the
fielding
department
is
looked
after
by
Shane
McDermott.
“We
want
to
be
the
best
fielding
side
given
that
we
have
a
young
team.
They
are
agile
and
quick.
We
have
the
belief
that
we
can
save
5-10
runs
which
can
make
a
big
difference,”
he
added.
The
batters,
however,
left
a
lot
to
be
desired
as
they
frittered
away
a
solid
start
by
Najmul
Shanto
and
Soumya
Sarkar,
who
put
together
43
runs
in
five
overs.
“We
kept
losing
at
regular
intervals
and
it
did
not
help
us.
We
knew
155
would
have
been
a
great
total,
but
we
were
10
runs
short,”
Shakib
said.
Having
bagged
the
Man-of-the-Match
award,
Taskin
Ahmed
said
he
just
kept
it
simple
and
the
ball
did
the
rest.
“It’s
a
good
win
for
us
and
we
needed
it.
We
played
well
as
a
team,
happy
to
have
contributed.
(On
first
two
balls)
I
stuck
to
my
basics,
saw
there
was
movement
in
the
first
innings.
So
I
bowled
Test-match
lengths.”
Asked
about
his
learnings
from
Donald,
he
said:
“I
can
move
the
ball
both
ways,
that
was
the
main
focus.
I
worked
on
that
coming
into
the
World
Cup.”
The
Dutch
skipper
Scott
Edwards
said,
“The
run
outs
were
poor,
Colin
and
Edwards
did
well.
We’re
looking
forward
to
the
India
challenge,”
he
said.
