In the second T20, Bangladesh was in trouble at the beginning when they came out to bat on the bowling-friendly wicket of Mirpur. However, Bangladesh turned around with the bat of Sheikh Mehedi and Zaker Ali. Zaker batted brilliantly today, even scoring a personal fifty. He scored 55 runs before being dismissed in the last over of the innings. This gave Bangladesh the capital to fight.
Bangladesh lost all their wickets in the allotted 20 overs and scored 133 runs. In the end, the Tigers left the field with an 8-run victory. Zaker Ali spoke about his runs after the match. He said in the press conference that he only counts if he does well.
In this context, Zaker said, ‘Yes, the match-winning innings are very important. Apart from that, I don’t count anything else. No matter how well I play, I don’t count. If my team doesn’t win, then I personally don’t count those. But I was able to contribute today, I counted.’
While revealing the secret of his ability to hit sixes, Zaker said about working with Mohammad Salahuddin in the BPL two years ago, “The process I practice in is the same – you see these. I do the extra practices outside. But I have changed some things. These are the things I worked on with our batting coach during the BPL two years ago.”
