Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan thinks so. At the post-match press conference, he said about the impact of BPL on Russo’s innings, “Of course, there can be. Nothing unusual. That experience can be useful. It’s only Russo who can tell why he did well. But from what seemed to me, he was very hungry to do well. Since he has come (to the team) after a long time, he has a lot to prove. There is pride in playing for the country, which he has also seen in the celebration that he has done after scoring 100. He must be given credit. The way he batted, he didn’t give us any chances. What we could say would have been different if something like that had happened. It was probably like a half chance. ‘

So why couldn’t Bangladesh use the BPL experience to stop Russo? Why did Sydney’s batting collapse for just 101 runs on a helpful wicket? Shakib also admitted that there is no wicket to chase big runs in the BPL, ‘Maybe. In fact, there are many reasons to find out the reason. It’s not that we haven’t scored big before. Or there’s no chance to do it. Especially in Sydney today the wicket was very good. We could have batted much better. ‘

The Bangladesh captain did not hide his disappointment after the huge defeat of 104 runs, “I am personally disappointed. Because there was a chance to bat well here. It’s not that we would have done 200 chases. But we had a very good start. I’m sure everyone after watching the first two overs thought something could happen. In these places of ours, there is actually a lot of improvement. I don’t like to talk about improving again and again, though. T20 matches are actually like that. If you watch the Australia-New Zealand match. When New Zealand scored 200 there, Australia’s batting collapsed. ‘
