How is T20 batting? Sikandar Raja and Brian Bennett showed it with their eyes in Sher Bengal today, May 12. Zimbabwean captain Raja batted at a strike rate of 156.52 and Bennett at 142.85. The strike rate of Bangladeshi batters there is very low.

In the series of 5 matches, 4 fifties came from the bats of team Bangladesh batsmen. Two of which were done by Tanjid Hasan Tamim. Tawhid Hriday and Mahmudullah Riyad scored half-centuries each.

Among them, the half-century (57 from 38 balls) in the third match by Hridoy is the only big innings of the Bangladeshi batsmen with 150 strikes. All three are below 150.

Tanjid Tamim’s half century in the second match at 142.55 strikerate (67 off 47), 140.54 strikerate (52 off 37) in the fourth game and today Mahmudullah Riyad’s half century at 122.72 strikerate (44 off 54)

So few strikerates against a weak, weak team like Zimbabwe? It was not possible to score a double hundred by batting in the previous three matches. It was not even possible to reach the room of 180. So what will happen to South Africa and Sri Lanka in the World Cup? The fans are worried about the batting of the Tigers.

After the game today, the question arose in the press conference, does Bangladesh bat in T20 ODI mood and style? However, captain Nazmul Hossain Shantar refused to accept it. His straightforward reply, ‘I don’t think so.’

Shanta brought forward the wicket to explain the reason for the low strike rate. He tried to explain that the big reason behind the low strike rate of Bangladeshi batters is sloth and low bouncy pitch. Where it is difficult to play free stroke with open hands.

Everyone’s strike rate will increase if Shanta understands, plays well and bats well for more time. “The thing is, if you think about it, we have started playing on good wickets recently,” said the Tigers captain. I played the T20 series with Sri Lanka on a good wicket. But this thing has to be given time.

If we start playing on good wickets for a long period of time, six months, a year, two years then you will see every batsman batting at a good strike rate. It is not only in international cricket, but in the BPL where we play, we have to play on good wickets for a long time. Then you will see the difference.’
