Tanzid Hasan and Mehidy Hasan emerged as the silver lining, conjuring a gritty partnership worth 52 runs. Just when it seemed they might steady the ship, Tanzid was dismissed by a breathtaking delivery from Mark Wood. From there on, it was mostly a solo effort from Mehidy, who valiantly battled on to score a commendable 74 off 89 balls. Unfortunately, the rest of the Bangladeshi batting lineup struggled to make an impact, with most batsmen failing to even breach the 20-run mark, leading to a significant middle-order collapse.
