All the players gave their 120%: Nazmul Hossain Shanto

Nazmul Hussain Shanto failed to bat well against Sri Lanka and returned to the pavilion after scoring seven runs in 13 balls. However, the rest of the players did their job well. Nazmul Hussain Shanto further said, ‘I am very happy with the way all the players worked hard. Everyone gave their 120%.

In the last 10 to 15 days, we had planned everything and we also fielded very well. This chase was not that easy and the wicket was also excellent. Liton Das was struggling with poor form for the last few weeks but today he showed his class. Towhid Hridoy also batted very aggressively. The audience was also excellent and I hope that we continue to perform like this in the future as well.

This was Bangladesh’s first match of this season and they won it. Now the team has to play its next match against South Africa on June 10. Bangladesh will definitely want to win this match too.
