Yuh...!! At least 40 runs short of a good first innings total against England on such a placid track....I should say...!!! Innings acceleration was badly missed specially in the later part of the first 50 overs of the match what otherwise was an impressive show of Bangladeshi batting. In my words, that actually was the point where the game got shifted towards English side giving them a breath of relief and confidence as well of getting back on the match from a stage where Bangladesh was cruising along at 260 for 2. The bad thing about this sort losses defending 300 odd runs is that the bowlers of the losing side get demoralized .....let alone the batters..!! That being said, I do divulge, Bangladesh Al Hhamdulillah has done fairly better than what was feared after that batting disaster against India in the Practice match just two nights back. And take it or not , it still is a learning curve for Bangladesh playing so intensely competitive " Champions Trophy " after a decade and that too on English Conditions against the Team of England who are at the pick of their ODI Form in recent months.
