T20 consultant Sridharan Sriram, who was firm about building an impactful team, has now been facing widespread criticism after Bangladesh`s defeat in three consecutive matches.
Earlier on September 14, after BCB revealed the T20 World Cup Squad for Bangladesh, the former Indian Cricketer and coach said: "Nothing but the impact is what I am up to, not the performance."
Bangladesh, at present, is on the Tri-series tour at Newzealand and already enjoyed the hat trick defeat having one match left.
Bangladesh used three opening combinations in the ongoing tri-nation series` three matches, but no makeshift opening partnership came out as expected.
Centering the issue, there have been critical discussions howling into the air that where is the impact Sridharan Sriram looked for and made the fans believe that they are going to get a strong team ahead of the World Cup.
The discussion turned fierce now as the Tigers tasted three consecutive defeats. However, the report.live went to bring out the positives , and the presiding impact we found is the scoreboard in the powerplay.
Bangladesh`s highest score in Powerplay since 2021:
Opponent | Scoreboard in Powerplay | Coach during the tenure |
Zimbabwe | 60/1 | Russell Domingo |
Sri Lanka | 55/1 | Sreedharan Sriram |
Zimbabwe | 53/1 | Russell Domingo |
New Zealand | 52/1 | Sreedharan Sriram |
Zimbabwe | 50/1 | Russell Domingo |
UAE | 48/2 | Sreedharan Sriram |
It’s been only seven matches since Sreedharan Sriram took over as the technical consultant of Bangladesh Cricket. And Bangladesh has scored three of their highest six powerplay scores in the past two years in these seven days.
The intent and impact that Bangladesh cricket fans were looking for in Sriram, Sriram may have started delivering already.
World Cup performance from the end of Bangladesh cricket will portray the rest.
Shakib Al Hasan, the team`s captain, said that they would be testing the cricketers even in the last match after the third defeat and is hopeful about finding the right combination (Squad) before the world cup.
