Tips for the Tigers

Tri-Nation Series 2018

Congratulations to the Tigers, Mashrafe in particular, for a brilliant win. When England were 31 for 4 after 10 overs, we started to believe that Bangladesh could pull off an unlikely win, and when Moeen Ali was dismissed in the 27th over with the score at 120-6, the game seemed firmly in the Tigers' grip. 

But then Butler scored a run-a-ball 57. He was largely able to do this by making room for himself and coming down the crease to get to the pitch of the ball, which allowed him to hit the shots. Our bowlers should have adjusted their line and length to throw him off his shots or even get him out. 

Regardless, I am positive that our boys will definitely put up a stellar performance in the 3rd ODI to win the series.
