Yesterday was a classic example of not adding a finisher to the batting line-up and we were at least 10 runs short due to it in the last 2 overs. You can't call Mahmudullah a finisher if you send him in after the 25th over. As for Soumya Sarkar, I said it after the Zimbabwe series that he can only score against inferior bowling in flat tracks and he has shown that against West Indies. Having Saifuddin over him would have changed a lot as we would not only have a finisher but another death over bowler. Mashrafe choosing Mahmudullah over Rubel shows that he wasn't ready mentally to bowl the last over.
