Bangladesh need to carry momentum against South Africa
Mirpur (Bangladesh): After winning the One-Day International (ODI) series 2-1 against India, captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza said Bangladesh need to continue their good form in the upcoming series against South Africa.
The hosts sealed their first-ever series against India by winning the first two matches before losing the third and final ODI by 77 runs here on Wednesday. Chasing India’s 317/6, Bangladesh folded up for 240 in 47 overs at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, as per reports.
South Africa are scheduled to tour Bangladesh next month and the Bangladesh captain is looking forward to it.
“South Africa are coming here next week and our fitness levels need to be up there. We need to keep going the way we are, but it’s also important to learn from the mistakes. Hopefully, we can play well against South Africa as well,” said Mashrafe.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
