**Bangladesh’s Hridoy Laments Run-Out “Crime” as Afghanistan Snatch ODI Victory**
**Chattogram, Bangladesh** – Bangladesh batsman Towhid Hridoy has taken responsibility for his costly run-out in the first ODI against Afghanistan, labeling it a “crime” and the turning point in a match that saw the hosts fall to a five-wicket defeat.
After a shaky start, Hridoy and captain Mehidy Hasan had rebuilt the innings with a solid 100-run partnership. However, a miscommunication led to Hridoy being run out for 56, sparking a batting collapse that Bangladesh failed to recover from.
“Yes, I think it (run-out) was a hundred percent the turning point,” Hridoy admitted after the match. “From that situation, we had brought the team back to a good position, and getting run out like that was a crime. It was a poor decision from me.”
Hridoy acknowledged that being run out has become a recurring issue, having been dismissed in this fashion four times already in his international career this year. “Maybe the problem lies within me. I have to find out what’s going wrong and work on it,” he stated.
The right-hander also conceded that the batting unit needs to improve in the remaining matches of the series. He felt they were short of 40-50 runs. “If we could have achieved that, the scenario of the game would have been different,” he said. “It wasn’t an easy wicket; it offered help to the bowlers. From a batting point of view, I believe we fell 50 runs short.”
Despite the disappointing loss, Hridoy expressed confidence in his team’s ability to bounce back. “We want to focus on the next match. If we can do something good there, we can win the next two back-to-back matches,” he concluded. Bangladesh will be looking to level the series in the second ODI.
