We need to work on batting in the tail end ... It was almost given up even though we had overs left and some wickets left ...
Needed saif to take charge.. and protect the tail enders

Mostly agree except the Saif bit as he should be given a pass still being new to the team. Scoring 170-180 in the first 30 overs against most teams is common in this world cup. Our bowlers showed amazing fight back spirit by restricting them to 314 instead of 350+. What hurt us most was not having Mahmudullah in the line up, it threw off the balance. Nobody knew they could count on Sabbir and Saif to bat so well in the latter part. Mushy, Liton, Mosaddek put too much pressure on themselves thinking they would have to be there till the end.
