A total of 131 shouldn't have challenged the Tigers in their own den. However, as it happened, the hosts had to depend upon their number eight batsman -- their skipper -- at the end of it all to put things to rest.
While Mashrafe Bin Mortaza enjoyed smacking those boundaries in the end and finishing off the game in style, he wasn't particularly happy with his batsmen's approach.
"Obviously we didn't want to chase the target that way. We seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. I think we should have just batted normally. But on the whole, the win was important. Hopefully everyone will play according to plan in the next match," said Mashrafe in the post-match press conference in Mirpur yesterday.
"In a T20 you generally try to get boundaries in the first six overs and put around 50 runs on the board. If you notice, we got 47 and after that there was no need to rush things.
"Instead of rushing, we should have thought about getting set. If we had two set batsmen we could have won the game easily," elaborated the skipper.
The other crucial aspect of the game was regarding the performance of Jubair Hossain. Jubair had leaked 17 runs in his first over. While Mashrafe admitted that the youngster was a bit nervous at first, he was however pleased to see him scalp two wickets at the end.
"This series is probably the last chance for us to find a good combination before the T20 World Cup, so maybe there was a bit more pressure Jubair. But this was a good opportunity to see the way he performs under pressure. The first over was a bit difficult for him, but he came back well," said Mashrafe.
After Jubair's first over it was unclear whether the debutant would get the ball again in the match. However he was brought back in the 16th over and incidentally had to bowl his first ball at Malcolm Waller, who tore him apart in his first spell.
"The reason why I gave him another over was because he is a main bowler in our side. There is no point of picking a player in the side as a bowler and giving him just one over.
"It was a challenging decision no doubt, but in my opinion he had to bowl. It didn't matter if he bowled badly or if he bowled well. Thankfully he did well," said Mashrafe.
With the next T20I tomorrow, the skipper hopes his players can learn from their mistakes in the first T20I and put up an even better showing.
