World T20 2021 | OMA vs BAN: One or two tweaks in the lineup possible, suggests Tigers’ coach Domingo

Bangladesh coach Russel Domingo is ready to make a few changes after their shock defeat against Scotland in the T20 World Cup. He has indicated that the Tigers might possibly make just one change in the playing XI in their next affair against Oman. The decision was taken after the country’s shocking defeat against Associate nation Scotland in their first match of Group B which also has Oman and Papua New Guinea in it. 

"We want to have different types of batters batting at the same time, not similar types of players. We have discussed it in depth. There might not be major changes, but there might be one or two tweaks in the line-up,” Domingo said in a pre-match presser in Muscat. 

"As you have seen in the series against Australia and New Zealand, we have been flexible. It will depend on the situation and the bowlers that are bowling at the time,” he added. 

With a mindset that the Bangladeshi batters will target to get 35-45 in the first six without losing a wicket or at max one to get a foot on the accelerator, later on, Domingo said, “We have made a few mistakes, played shots we shouldn't have played, stopped playing those shots we should be playing. So we have to find the right balance between attack and defence in the first six overs.”

Contrary to popular belief that Bangladesh took the Scottish challenge lightly, Domingo said that no World Cup game is being taken lightly by his boys. "We didn't take Scotland lightly. They beat Bangladesh in their last T20I encounter. There was no complacency in yesterday's game. We have to show Oman great respect,” he said. 

Bangladesh face Oman in a do or die game where any slip up would mean that they are out of the competition even before reaching its main stage.
