“Wicket taking is overrated in T20”
Very often when I have said this, people tend to slide into mock it.

“In T 20 wickets happen and how!! is totally dependant on the entry point of the bowler and of course the ability to execute apt skills in that over or ball like Bumrah did… pic.twitter.com/mX9o8YZrE5

Bangladesh need 105 runs in 18 overs now.

The pitch/pitches at the New York stadium are terrible. Having a close match or two does not make them great cricket pitches. It is the opposite end of the spectrum where we had games in the IPL this season where 250-260 played 230-40. Neither end is good for the sport.
