We gave up because our captain gave up. Even when they were 199 or 201 he didn't press. he had his regular field setting and that's it. Whereas, When India could not dislodge our opener in the first 10 overs, Dravid didn't take the powerplay and brought in the spinners to slow down the runrate and was successful. That made Tamim going bonkers before he could get his 45. And the moment he got out a new batsmen came in he took the powerplay and pressed. Not only the new batsman our capitan shaheb gift his wicket but that mini hiccup was good enough to stall the runrate.
