Champions Trophy: Bangladesh Hope For Mahmudullah Boost Ahead Of Must-win New Zealand Clash
Champions Trophy: Bangladesh are optimistic about senior batter Mahmudullah’s availability for their crucial Champions Trophy match against New Zealand in Rawalpindi on February 24. Bangladesh need to secure a win in the match to keep their semifinal chances alive.
Mahmudullah, who had been in fine form with four fifties in his last four ODIs, sustained a calf muscle injury during training ahead of the India game. His absence was felt as Bangladesh crumbled to 35/5 early on before Towhid Hridoy’s century and Jaker Ali’s fifty led a fightback. Despite their efforts, India chased down the target in the 48th over, winning by six wickets.
Although Bangladesh stretched the game with their bowling on a slow pitch, their under-par total proved costly. With the Champions Trophy’s short format, they now find themselves in must-win territory.
