Nayeem Hasan on Bangladesh's Strategy

Nayeem Hasan, Bangladesh offspinner, revealed that changing the seam position and bowling consistently in one area were key to his success on Day 4 of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle.

Nayeem's Game Plan

  • Tried to bowl in one good spot and adjust variation
  • Changed seam position from time to time
  • Line depended on who he was bowling to
  • Had different plans for each batter

Bangladesh's Position

  • Ended the day with an overall lead of 187 runs, with seven wickets in hand
  • Nayeem believes they have every opportunity to go for the win once they have a good total on board
  • A lot of things can happen on the fifth day wicket, and Bangladesh want to give Sri Lanka a good target to put them under pressure

Kamindu Mendis on Sri Lanka's Chances

  • Sri Lanka's first target is to get Bangladesh's wickets
  • They believe they can still win the game if they can bowl Bangladesh out in the first session
  • Confident in their ability to chase down the target, depending on the pitch conditions
