We will target India's inexperienced bowling attack: Bangladesh coach

Bangladesh coach Russell Domingo on Saturday said his team will be targeting a rar inexperienced Indian bowling attack to upst hosts in T20 series decider on Sunday. Indian team is without services of injured pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, seamer Bhuvneswar Kumar and all-rounder Hardik Pandya with Khaleel Ahmed, Deepak Chahar and Washington Sundar shouldering bowling responsibilities in three-match series. "It's secret that y got reasonably an inexperienced bowling attack. If we bat well, stick to our strategies we can put ir bowling attack under pressure," said Domingo on eve of game.

Team batting second ended up as winner in both games, making toss all more crucial. "I think dew has affected ( games). Toss has played a role, both teams batting second have come around top but look if we had got 180-190 in last game, we would have given ourselves a better chance. That was really excuse in terms of t playing well," Domingo said.

build-up to India tour was far from ideal for Bangladesh with players going on strike over a pay dispute and star all-rounder Shakib Al Hassan being suspended by ICC for failing to report corrupt approaches. Domingo said t many would have expected his team to play way it has so far considering run of events ahead of tour. "It has been a tough couple of weeks before this tour, but players deserve a lot of credit. energy and desire y have shown in last 10 days has been fantastic. y were willing to try new things. y are playing against a quality side away from home," he said. "If someone said to us two weeks ago that we will be one-all coming into Nagpur, one would have believed it. So we are pretty happy where are, and it is a great opportunity tomorrow."

Frontline pacer Mustafizur Rahman has t made an impact in series so far but that is t yet a concern for Domingo. "He is a quality bowler. He is a match-winner and our most experienced bowler. We kw that a big performance is just around corner," coach said.  "Bowlers are under pressure in this format, particularly with a wet ball against top-quality batters on a good wicket."

Domingo, who took charge of team post World Cup in July, also laid out his vision for T20 team, factoring on its limitations. "I don't think we are ever going to be a West Indian or England type of batting line-up with guys who can get ball out of ground. Just physically we are t that type of team," coach said.  "Afif, Mosaddek and Liton are small boys, but we are trying to use pace, running hard between wickets, getting gaps, picking up twos; six twos in an over is as good as two sixes. We are working on our or strengths."

Bangladesh off-spinners went for runs in previous game with Rohit wreaking havoc.  Asked if he would consider playing a left-arm spinner on Sunday, coach said: "Our off-spinners worked a game ago, but just because it didn't work in last game doesn't mean everything has to change.  "We don't want to be a team that makes knee-jerk reactions to a loss. It has been case for this team for too long. "We want to back a certain group of players. If somebody has a bad game doesn't mean he doesn't play for next six months. It is part of T20 cricket."
