Fielding has become a major concern for Bangladesh, particularly long catches near the boundary line.
Two dropped catches against Sri Lanka cost the Tigers the match in their Super 12 opener.
And against the West Indies Mahedi Hasan put down two catches while Afif Hossain dropped a sitter of Jason Holder.
Afif’s dropped catch of Holder especially was a very costly one.
Holder was batting on one off one ball when Afif dropped the catch at cover boundary.
It was a straightforward catch for someone like Afif but somehow he grassed it.
In his next three balls, Holder smashed two sixes and took a single.
Holder finished the innings on a high note for the West Indies as he was not out on 15 off just five balls.
It seemed Bangladesh could have restricted the West Indies under 130 but Holder’s back to back sixes helped them to surge past the 140-mark which proved to be a winning total in the end.
