You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. Bangladesh will have to follow this famous quote. The end of something always leads to another beginning. Bangladesh will have to restructure their model. Their batting and their methods needs a bit of an overhaul. Their performances in ICC events over the last two decades have been underwhelming. And they would want to improve on it for sure. NZ are growing in strength. They seem to have most bases covered. Two quality spinners. Pace was never a concern. They have an all-round batting unit. They will be one of the teams to beat and have to be one of the favourites. India and NZ would be mouth watering for sure. We will bring to you that platter. But now is the time to pull down the curtains for this game. Our team of Saurabh Shankar, Anurag Hegde, Mukesh and KAD signing off.
Mitchell Santner: We knew Bangladesh will challenge us in these conditions. Bracewell is a quality bowler. He changed his pace. The key was to pick wickets in the middle overs. The wicket was more two paced than I thought. Little bit of dew but not as much I thought. Rachin loves ICC events. Seemed he never left the game. The partnership with Tom set us up. It would be a different challenge versus India on a different wicket.
Najmul Hossain Shanto: We started well today. We lost too many wickets in the middle overs. We didn't bat properly. Was a good wicket to bat on. We needed two big partnerships. Nahid is brilliant. I am happy the way he bowled. The last two years the bowling unit has done well. I think the game vs Pakistan is an important game. Would be good to finish on a high. We need to improve as a batting and fielding side.
Michael Bracewell | Player of the Match: Awesome to contribute to a win. Our main objective was getting to that semi-final spot. It was about keeping the stumps in play and bowling straight, not making it easy for them to score. There was some help on the surface, but you don’t have any real control once the ball has left your hand. Our side is pretty well balanced. I was hoping I won’t need to get the pads on, but don’t mind. Rachin and Latham set up the game perfectly, made things easier in the end.

Bangladesh lacked depth in batting. They never
21:37 Local Time, 16:37 GMT, 22:07 IST: Pakistan and Bangladesh are out of the tournament. The hosts are out. That's been very rare in ICC tournaments of late. Bangladesh batted in a timid manner and that I guess
