BD keen to avoid T20 whitewash against Pakistan today

Bangladesh are keen to avoid a series whitewash by showing an improved performance as they will take on Pakistan in the third and final T20 International at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today (Sunday), reports BSS.

The match will starts at 9pm will be aired live on T Sports.

After being humbled by United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bangladesh lost the series to Pakistan also by losing first two matches. They are on the brink of series whitewash against Pakistan.

Bangladesh lost the first game by 37 runs while chasing a target of 202. They got same target in the second match but this time put worse performance than the first game, being all out for just 144 and lost it by 57 runs.

To make the matter worse, pacer Shoriful Islam, who did considerably well than other bowlers, suffered an injury blow. He was able to bowl just three deliveries in the second game, a thing that Bangladesh captain Liton Das cited as the

turning point of the second match.

According to Litton, they could have made it tougher for Pakistan if they were not one bowler short.

"I think when Shoriful got injured, that time momentum fully shifted," Litton said.

"We knew we lacked in bowling, still we came back well. We were one bowler short after Shoriful's injury but we did well to restrict Pakistan in a total that was chaseable on this wicket."

But the batting frailties continued.
