Taskin Ahmed expressed joy over Bangladesh's victory against Australia, emphasizing that the win came on a good sporting wicket, not a spin-friendly 'paddy field'. This marks a significant achievement as Bangladesh defeated Australia in an ODI series for the first time, showcasing their improved performance on balanced pitches.
Previous victories against Australia, including a T20 series win and a Test match, were on home spin wickets. This time, the conditions were equal for both teams, eliminating any chance for criticism about the pitch. Bangladesh dominated the first two ODIs, not allowing Australia to mount a significant challenge.
Taskin highlighted the team's growth, stating that playing on good wickets in favorable conditions is crucial for their development. He believes Bangladesh's pace bowling, featuring bowlers like Taskin, Mustafizur Rahman, and Nahid Rana, is a major strength. Mustafizur was the match-winner in the latest game, taking 3 wickets for 27 runs.
Taskin rates Bangladesh's pace bowling among the top three in the world and believes it will continue to improve. He praised Nahid Rana, hoping for his continued success to elevate Bangladesh's pace bowling further. This victory extends Bangladesh's winning streak in ODI series at home to five, including wins against strong opponents like New Zealand and Australia.
