Bangladesh v England T20I series
We have never played like this before: Shakib
It was not what was expected from a newly-built team, but the Tigers pulled off the unlikely feat of a 3-0 T20I series clean sweep against T20I world champions England with a 16-run victory at Mirpur in the third and final match yesterday.
‘I wanted venom on the ball’
Despite discussions about the slow and low nature of the Mirpur surface and how much the Tigers would rely on home conditions as they looked to undo England prior to the start of the three-match T20I series, it was a breath of fresh air to witness the impact of the pace-bowling unit as Bangladesh sealed a maiden whitewash series win against the reigning white-ball world champions.

The series has been clinched and a statement has been served that this new Bangladesh outfit can go forward with their approach in this series. However, wins at home have often been a double-edged sword
Time to step out of the Mirpur bubble?
Following a memorable six-wicket win over England in the first T20I on a sporting wicket in Chattogram last week, there remains a lot of focus on the nature of the Mirpur’s surface on which the second T20I is set to be played today.

‘Run for cover’ on the agenda as Shakib leads range hitting session
Shakib was in a vibrant mood himself, joking with the batters as they took turns. He hit quite a few sixes and when there was a close one that just about reached over the fence, the likes of Shanto and Liton tried to take the mickey out of the captain arguing it was not a six.
