India vs Bangladesh: We don’t have that habit of scoring big runs and that is reality, says Taskin Ahmed | Cricket News

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain after their loss in Gwalior had said that “their batters don’t know how to score 180 runs” and on Wednesday, Taskin Ahmed repeated the inability to come up with good totals is because they are not accustomed of playing on good pitches at home.
“They score 180 to 200 runs regularly. For us that is 130-40 at home,” Taskin told reporters after Bangladesh lost the second match 86 runs.
“We don’t have that habit of scoring big runs and that is reality. Hopefully, in the coming days, our home condition will get better and at that point, we can chase big runs and defend as well.
“At the same time if we can play different franchise leagues we will have better experience. Our cricket will develop when the structure of our domestic cricket is strong.”
Taskin was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh as he returned with the bowling figures of 2 for 16.
The costly drop
Taskin Ahmed has said the team paid the price for dropping Nitish Reddy early when he was only on 5 wicketkeeper Litton Das. Nitish made the most of the chance and brought up his maiden fifty, off just 27 balls, in just his second international appearance. He scored 74 runs in just 34 balls.
“Catch drop is always costly, especially against an opponent like them who are best in the world. The margin of error is very small and so it was costly,” Taskin said.
“Look in the power play we did well but they batted well in the end and unfortunately spinners had a bad day. Normally we don’t have this kind of bad days but in T20 anything can happen on any day. The spinners could not grip the ball as there was dew. We were in the game till the 11 or 12 over and this wicket if we could keep them under 180 runs it was chasuble. We could not score a lot of runs and that is our failure but this wicket is very good for batting,” he added.
Not producing good wickets in Bangladesh
According to Taskin, the main points of difference between the two teams is the habit of Indian batters playing on good wicket from their very early stage.
“This habit that they have grown due to playing in good wicket from the early stage of their career is their biggest strength,” he said.
“Unfortunately we could not improve a lot in T20 and that is our fault. We need to improve our skill at the same time if we could play in good wicket.”
The pacer has also urged letting go of Gamini de Silva, the head curator of Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium will improve their wickets
“It can happen though the decision lies in the hand of the board. We have already informed the board to prepare good wickets and take decision in that direction and board is thinking about it. The board will help us to have better condition and how board will do that lies to them,” he said.
