Bowlers felt the pressure: Dhoni
March 16, 2012
India plunged to a humiliating five-wicket defeat against Bangladesh after setting them a challenging 290-run target but India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni reposed faith in his bowlers, saying they will learn from mistakes and start performing under pressure.
Bangladesh pulled off a stunning win thanks to a fantastic team effort as the top and middle batting order batted with never-say-die attitude.
Dhoni said a better team won the match in the end.
"They played better cricket throughout. They began well and capitalised on that. They made sure they spent time at the crease. At the start of the Powerplay our bowlers felt the pressure and crumbled. A bit more runs on the board would have been better," Dhoni said after the match.
Asked if his side lacked bowling talent, Dhoni said, "Talent is there. They just need to execute plans with consistency. The youngsters will learn more. They will start performing. They felt the pressure today."
Dhoni was full of praise for the hosts. "Bangladesh can play really well on their day, they used the conditions well, their reverse swing bowling was good. And they got the partnerships going."
Reacting to Sachin Tendulkar's historic 100th international century, Dhoni said, "This is something most of us cannot even think of. It is a tremendous achievement. We cannot forget this."
Tendulkar was presented a commerative plaque by the Bangladesh Cricket Board for his achievement.
Winning skipper Mushfiqur Rahim, who himself played a terrific 46 run knock off just 25 balls in his team's win, dedicated the win to former teammate Manjural Islam Rana, who passed away five years back.
"It's a huge moment for us. We want to dedicate this to Manjural Islam Rana. Today it was great, we really appreciate our win. We stood up today. The bowlers did a good job and batsmen gave a good start and then capitalised," he said.
Shakib Al Hasan, who set up the win after his fiery 49 off 31 balls, said the victory was a result of team effort.
"It was a great team effort, we batted really sensibly. I'm a very happy man now. The innings was crucial because I gave the rest the belief they could win. We had a plan to put Nasir up the order. If we win against Sri Lanka we can make the final but we don't want to depend on others," he said.

Shakib:-
" Very happy with the way we played, great team performance. Our batting was very sensible, we upped the ante at the right time. The top-order batted very sensibly and the later order including myself finished it off. I gave the team the belief that we could win this match and it was great that we won in the end. Nasir supported me really well and Mushfiq was superb towards the end. We do not want to depend on others, we believe that we can enter the finals by beating Sri Lanka on the 20th." He then thanks the crowd in Bangla.
Shakib is the MoM for his all-round show
Mushfiq:-
It is a huge win for us. We will dedicate this match to our friend, Manjural Islam Rana who died on this day 5 years back. We bowled really well and were backed up by the fielders. The batsmen then played according to the plan. We are thankful for the crowd which kept on egging us. Shakib was really outstanding to help us pull this chase off.
Dhoni:-
They played better cricket throughout. We knew the wicket will get better in the second half and all their batsmen played really well. There was some dew and we did not execute our plans well. I felt that we were some runs short on this surface. It is not that we do not have a good bowling attack. The youngsters will learn from today and hopefully will do better in future. Bangladesh are one team that can surprise us. They went after the target really well and batted according to the plan. Very happy for Sachin, he deserves all the credit, it is difficult to score 100 hundreds and we are happy for him. We will hope not to make these mistakes in the crunch match against Pakistan. Winning or losing does not matter, but we need to play better cricket.
