At the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, Bangladesh will play their second match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 against the reigning champion South Africa.
Interestingly, Bangladesh chose to use a different tactic; therefore, Soumya Sarkar is not playing in this match.
According to reports, Sarkar was benched for their previous match against Sri Lanka after scoring a duck. The Tigers have added Jaker Ali Anik to take Sarkar’s place. Litton Das is anticipated to start the batting with Tanzid Hasan Tamim in this situation.
Following the toss, Najmul Shanto conveyed his happiness with the choice. Shanto emphasised the significance of their most recent victory over Sri Lanka while appreciating the audience’s support. He spoke about the team’s dedication and hope for a remarkable showing throughout the game. Shanto also mentioned how difficult it had been for them to find a leg spinner that was efficient, but now that they had one that could take wickets, he applauded the bowlers’ collective effort.
“I was delighted to bowl first because I wanted to bowl. There is only one change: Jaker Ali replaces Soumya Sarkar, who is not playing. It makes us happy to have such large audiences here to support us. (Regarding the victory over Sri Lanka): The boys worked really hard, and maybe we can pull off a memorable victory today. After battling with a leggie, we now have one that can take wickets. Following the toss, Shanto stated, “All of the bowlers have been playing pretty well.
