As a result, Wanindu Hasaranga was the only Sri Lankan bowler to have an impact (2 for 22). Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell were sacked from their positions. According to former India bowler Ajit Agarkar. Sri Lanka may have missed a trick by not bowling the leg-spinner in the powerplay.
Bangladesh will play West Indies, the defending champions, in a must-win match on Friday.
“Against Sri Lanka, Mustafizur bowled just three overs. Even against England, he bowled just three overs. He is not bowling poorly. But your strike bowlers have to take wickets. It is clear that those teams will do well whose strike bowlers, their wicket-taking options play well. And Mustafizur is one of them,” Agarkar said.
Mustafizur, according to Agarkar, would play a significant role against the West Indies, who have a deep batting lineup.
“Maybe they should use him in a more attacking role, especially against West Indies, because they have a long and explosive batting lineup,” Agarkar said.
“In the previous matches, they kept losing wickets so they were under pressure. So it will be important for him to take wickets, and Bangladesh should look at him in that role. Even if he gives 10-15 runs extra, it’s still okay as it would be more beneficial if he takes two-three wickets,” Agarkar added.
