The pacers do not get much support on the slow wicket of the Sher-e-Bangla national cricket stadium, but the pacers have their own rapture in this spin-dependent wicket, but the Tigress pacers have seen dominance in the first two ODIs of the series against India.
Pacer Marufa Akhtar has seen the power to be specific. He took 4 wickets alone in the first ODI and he took a wicket in India's batting line-up. Despite getting one wicket in the second ODI, India's veteran opener Smriti Mandhana has been on the field.
The batter lost his off-stamp in a great delivery of Marufa, who has been the only pacer of his bowling since his debut. He is the only pacer of the Bangladesh team. Mandhana is also impressed with his bowling. And he has been able to know that one of the best batters in the world.
Smriti said, ‘I think he has a very different bowling action. Because of this, he bowls at a higher speed than we think. What I think of his release position, say more skids than him. I would say he is a very good cricketer.’
He added, ‘I had a small talk with me after the first match. I congratulated him. And I said, his efforts also inspire us. That's why his bowls are not a matter of how much he has to give in. But the kind of effort he is on the field, it is amazing to see him. He has the fire to be a good cricketer.’
Mandhana is looking forward to Marufa's bright future, Tigress has impressed the pacer on the slow wicket of Bangladesh so that he is looking forward to bowling Marufa on Australian and England fast wickets.
Smriti Mandhana said, ‘I am sure and the bowling will be an excellent cricketer for the Bangladesh team. As I said, his ball thinking is two kilometers more speed. Such a wicket is not helping him as much. We have to see how England or Australia.’
