Anamul and Mushy especially really threw it away. Both got out unnecessarily early in the innings and could've really set the tone for the innings by converting. Instead they put their team under pressure and left it to others to carry the innings. Shakib got out later so he was trying to go after the bowling but I agree he needed to stay there for a bit more and finish strong.
If we want to beat India, we need to score at least 300 and if we want to happen then we need somebody to carry on and make some bigger scores. Hope we can see that next game
