The first four

Soumya’s failure continues
The majestic Sarkar also returned after spending an uncomfortable time on the wicket. The series of his failures in the series was prolonged a little more.
In the third over, leg-spinner Adam Jampa was attacked by the Australian captain. Soumya tried to sweep the first ball. The ball hits his pad. The umpire gave a thumbs up after thinking for a while about the Australians’ LBW application.
Take the majestic review. But you can live. The decision of the umpires to stay out of the call remains intact. Even though the review of Bangladesh survived, Saumya could not survive.

After 30 and 1 runs in the previous two matches, this time Naeem’s run is 2. Bangladesh 3 for 1 in 2 overs.
Soumya survived the first over
In the first over of the innings, the majestic government was saved for a short time in two innings.
The first was from Stumping. The left-arm batsman could not play properly with the ball outside the leg stump, his foot moved to the following pole and came out. Keeper Matthew Wade throws the bell. However, as can be seen in the TV replay, the foot moves to the crease a fraction of a second ago.
He got life from the next ball from being caught. The length of the pitch at the middle stump is a majestic shot between sweep and flick, the fielder jumps into the circle with a square leg. He can even touch the hand, but could not palm it.
Soumya survived with zero runs.
