It was not a convincing win at all. We lost too many wickets trying to be ultra-defensive and playing like Raquibul, which was absolutely not necessary when you only require 50 runs. A hit here and there would have produced singles and we would have been sailing smoothly. But, no, batsmen just stood there and did thuk-thuk and we were grinding for no sensible reason.
