T20 World Cup: Scotland loss hurt us, win over Oman will settle our nerves - Bangladesh star Shakib Al Hasan

T20 World Cup 2021: Shakib Al Hasan, who shone with an all-round effort on Tuesday against Oman, said Bangladesh were hurt after their shock loss to Scotland in the tournament opener.

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan said the shock loss to Scotland in their T20 World Cup 2021 opener hurt the entire team badly and they found it hard to control their nerves against Oman on Tuesday. Bangladesh overcame a nervy phase to beat Oman by 26 runs and keep their hopes of progressing to the Super 12 stage of the tournament alive.

Bangladesh were stunned by Scotland on the opening day of the T20 World Cup as Mahmudullah's side struggled with both the ball against a spirited side led by Kyle Coetzer. Chasing 141, Bangladesh never got going and lost Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim in the middle overs -- a jolt from which they were never able to recover.
